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.
Pasture ManagementAll of our animals are raised on pasture or in woodlands. They are given the ability to live in their natural habitat. Our farm's goal is to work with nature to regenerate life on the land. It's better for us, better for the animal and better for the soil. Our animals are rotated regularly throughout the pastures to encourage natural fertilization, growth maintenance, rest, and renewal. This also encourages nutrient-rich muscles and fat that are impactful for your health journey.
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 Grass-fed animals produce some of the healthiest meats for us.
Higher Omega 3 fatty acids
Better Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratios
Increased Anti-oxidants
Reduced Contaminants
Improved Flavor & Texture
Non-GMO Fed
Our pigs and poultry live their lives on the land, in the woodlands and pastures. They forage for whatever they find and desire: grass, bugs, berries, nuts. They also eat a supplemental feed that we grow and grind ourselves at the farm. We grow non-gmo grains to provide a balanced, fresh and healthy diet for the animals. Our goal is to raise the healthiest, energetic animals, and our custom-feed is a really important part of that equation.
Heritage Breeds
We 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.
No Antibiotics
Instead of using routine antibiotics like conventional farms, we instead 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 harmful bacteria. We raise animals in small groups, and implement a closed herd system when applicable to help prevent the spread of diseases. We've learned from experience, if you let nature take care of itself, it does a pretty good job without much intervention.
No RNA/MRNA Vaccines
None of our animals are treated using RNA technologies.
