About Chisholm Family Farm:
We are a small pasture-based family farm located in Unadilla,NE - convienently located close to both Omaha and Lincoln. Our farm is Certified Naturally Grown. We produce cheese, yogurt, and ice cream on the farm... we use only natural ingredients.. never anything artificial... ever!Our pigs are on rotational pasture as are our jersey cows. It is one of our goals that our animals experience a stress-free happy life here on our farm. Our pigs are also fed the same organic grain as our chickens.. the only difference is a slight adjustment to vitamins to meet their unique needs. Our pigs are kept parasite free naturally by keeping them in clean pasture environments and we keep DE in their feed. No need for chemical wormers or parasite control because they are naturally healthy this way.
We offer micro batch artisan cheeses made with milk from our grass-fed jersey cows. Our cows are on pasture 365 days a year. They are rotated through our pastures but always given more than enough room to explore, wander, and do other cow-like things. :-) We do offer them a very small amount of certified organic, locally grown, soy-free grain at milking time that is a treat for them and also offers an easy way for us to slip in naturally sourced and organic approved vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and pro-biotics.
Our creamline milk is vat pasteurized, never homogonized. We gently heat the milk and then rapidly cool and bottle it. Our yogurts are made from vat pasteurized milk cultured and then we blend with natural non gmo non bleached sugar, honey, or stevia extract and natural extracts and flavors.
General Practices:
We utilize a rotational pasture grazing system to ensure that the grass our cows are grazing has the optimal nutrition available. We do not use synthetic or chemical fertilizers, weed control, or bug control products on our pasture or land.We are grateful to be the stewards of this farm and treat our animals and the land we are caretakers for in a holistic fashion, using herbs and natural cures if/when we encounter a medical problem. Antibiotics would be reserved as a last resort and any animal receiving such would be removed from production for an extended period. No hormones are ever given.
Our dairy products are all made by hand in our on-farm micro creamery - Orchard Hill Creamery
All of our meats are processed in a USDA Inspected facility.
We are Certified Naturally Grown.
