About Us
We are a farm family with deep roots in agriculture. Our ancestors settled our farm in the 1860's and our children are the sixth generation to operate this land. Originally, conventional farmers, we felt the need to treat our land more sustainably and to produce products that were as healthy as possible. Thus we began the transition to organic farming five years ago. We have implemented rotational grazing to our livestock production. We have a great respect for the land and want to have our children continue doing the same in the future. We feel the personal relationship between producer and consumer is crucial in today's world of corporate agriculture and generic food. Thus, we direct market as much as possible, and feel that all of our customers are like family to us. We appreciate your support as we strive to grow healthy food for all of our customers and their families. Please give our products a try and taste the difference.

Practices (our standards for raising or making our products)
Beef and lamb are produced with no added hormones or antibiotics. They are grazed and/or fed organically-grown hay and later finished on non-GMO grains. All animals are born on our farm. Our broiler chickens and turkeys are all pasture-raised using "Salatin-style" methods, moved to fresh grass twice daily, and fed non-GMO grains and no antibiotics. We use an organic vitamin and mineral premix in our poultry feed. Beef and lamb is processed under USDA inspection and all poultry is processed in a state inspected plant.
