CERTIFIED ORGANIC We have been farming organically since 1981. No chemicals are ever used on our fields, and no antibiotics, hormones, or synthetic wormers are ever used on our animals. Our dairy cows live out their lives happily munching high quality, certified organic grass, hay and small amounts of corn grown on our farm. During the grazing season, the cows are on a fresh plot of grass daily. Beef animals are raised on pasture and fed very little grain. Veal calves are raised in the pasture with their mothers. Pigs are raised outside and fed certified organic grain and milk. No animal by-products are ever fed to our animals. “No chemicals ever used on our land or Animals!” |

BUY LOCAL! Most food is trucked thousands of miles before it reaches the grocery store. When you buy food that is produced locally, you are helping to reverse this wasteful trend. Locally produced food is a good buy! It is good for the farmer, good for the consumer and best of all, GOOD FOR THE PLANET! KNOW YOUR FARMER! It is important to know where your food is produced! Most meat sold in grocery stores is produced in feedlots where there are thousands of animals crowded in pens on concrete. They are fed a diet of mainly grain laced with antibiotics to help keep them healthy in such unnatural conditions. Our cows and calves are raised in lush pastures and fed very little grain. Our pigs are raised outdoors with plenty of room to exhibit their natural behavior. BUY LOCAL! IT MATTERS! |
