Since the 1870’s, we have been working the land for seven generations in Cass County, Michigan. Spread over our homestead plus acres of pastures and woodlands, we employ environmentally sound management practices for the fields and forest that help build the foundation for a sustainable farm. Our farm raises pastured pigs, chickens, turkeys, goats and cattle following strict standards to produce the best tasting, nourishing, nutrient-dense foods.
Heritage Breeds
We have preserved our genetics for over 40 years to raise an animal that thrives living in the outdoors. Our breeds promote quality fat cover and hearty instincts to protect their own and each other. The meats are full flavored and nutrient-dense due to the preserved breeds and natural environment.
Certified Grass-fed
When we say 100% grass-fed, we mean grass-fed and grass-finished. Our cattle and sheep will only eat grass from start-to-finish. We are audited once per year by A Greener World Organization to certify our cattle marketed through our meat business. https://youtu.be/ERDEHveLxxQ
Non-GMO Fed
Our farm's choice to switch from conventional to non-gmo happened years ago, and was simple - it was a high concern for our customers and enough people were willing to pay more for the higher costs of non-gmo grains. We have noticed an overall improvement in our animals health after the switch. Our pigs, chickens and turkeys enjoy the non-gmo supplement in their diets, along with foraging the pastures. We grow and grind all of our own supplemental feeds on-site at the farm to maintain a close monitored control on their diet and health.
No Antibiotics
We have not needed to use an antibiotic on our farm for over 20 years. Instead, we give our animals plenty of space to roam the pastures, fresh food, and clean water. We also rotate pastures in order to let them rest and rid themselves of any harmful bacteria. We have a closed herd system to help eliminate the spread of diseases. If needed, we use natural remedies like oregano or apple cider vinegar to help boost the immune systems and fight illnesses.
Pasture Management
Our farm's goal is to work with nature to regenerate life on the land. We work to create a place that is better for each generation of farmer. Our animals are rotated regularly throughout the pastures to encourage natural fertilization, growth maintenance, rest, and renewal.
No RNA/MRNA Vaccines
None of our animals are treated using RNA technologies.
