 Chickens
Our broilers are raised in portable, floorless shelters that are
moved onto fresh clover and grass twice a day. They are fed a
natural grain diet free of the standard fare of antibiotics or
growth stimulants. These birds enjoy eating, scratching, and
pecking through the grass as they improve (fertilize) our
pesticide and herbicide-free pasture. Studies have shown that
pastured chickens are low in saturated fats and high in CLA’s
(conjugated linoleic acid). But most people just love their
flavor. Our chickens not only taste better, they’re much better
for you.

 Turkeys
We also raise holiday turkeys in the fall. They are fed in the
same manner as the broilers only they “gobble” up quite a bit
more. Nothing injected into these plump birds. Just pure tender
turkey flavor. We raise a limited number, so order early.

 Free Range
Eggs
We have what we think are the best eggs around. Free ranging
hens lay eggs that are high in CLAs, folic acid, and omega-3
fatty acids while low in the “bad” cholesterol. These eggs are as
nutritious as they are delicious. The yolks are bright yellow and
stand up in the pan. Our hens happily search for tasty bugs,
clovers, and other tidbits in the fresh air and sunshine.

Grass-Finished Beef
 Our beef and
dairy steers are treated to management intensive grazing through
the growing season. That means we move them to a fresh grass
paddock every day or two and rest the pasture they have eaten. It
takes more time and energy, but the pastures thrive and the
animals love it.
When it comes time to "finish" we let the steers
chow down on the best lush spring or fall grasses and clovers.
They easily fatten but with the good "fats". This means sides and
quarters are available only in late spring and fall. Individual
cuts are available on a first come basis.
We do not use feedlots, growth hormones, or chemical
pour-overs.

Pastured Pork
Our pigs are raised
in a wooded area where they enjoy rooting and wallowing in the
shade. They love their milk-soaked organic grain. No antibiotics or chemical wormers added.

Meat Goats
 Our
Boer goats are raised on pasture and fed organic grain. Chevon
(goat meat) is high in protein and low in saturated fat. This meat
tastes similar to beef or lamb. Goat meat may be purchased by the
whole goat or by the cut.

Dairy Goats
Our daughter Rachel raises a few
Alpine dairy
goats for milk and some
cheese. They are fed organic alfalfa, organic corn and roasted
soybeans. Milk is sold by the half-gallon. Cheeses are available
upon request.

Dairy Cows
We
raise grass-based dairy cows that spend most of their days on the
pasture. They are fed a minimal amount of organic grain. Our rich
Jersey whole milk is non-homogenized and is sold in gallon glass
jars with a distinctive cream-line. Yogurt, cheeses, and other
milk products are available.
