We believe in conserving Heritage breeds that were raised by our forefathers. These breeds are of a bygone era, before industrial agriculture became a mainstream practice. They were carefully bred and selected over time to develop traits that made them well-adapted to the local environment and they thrived under traditional farming practices that are very different from those found today.
We are committed to humanely raising heritage beef, pork, chicken and turkey breeds through sustainable agricultural practices. Our animals are bred naturally, raised humanely, and always on pasture and we believe in investing in infrastructure that allows us to mimic the natural environment through rotational grazing using a variety of species.
We believe in transparency. You want to know how our animals are raised? We welcome your questions, encourage visits to the farm, and open the doors through our social media. We want you to know to know your farmer and the food that you feed your family.
OUR MISSION
“The shorter the chain between raw food and fork, the fresher it is and the more transparent the system is.”
Joel Salatin | Farmer, Environmentalist, Author
