Farm
What we’re doing
In 2012 we moved from a quaint suburb home to our beautiful homestead. Initially, we only wanted to produce honest and clean meat for our own family. Over the years, however, we expanded our small production and are happy to now be able to offer you the best quality meats you can find. To the extent possible, we only use corn free and soy free transitional organic feed and definitely never any antibiotics or vaccines in our meat animals.
Hogs
We raise only the highest quality heritage breed hogs on fermented feed. 100% access to the outdoors guarantees a happy pig.
Broilers
We carefully select our chicks. They never receive vaccines or antibiotics and are rotated on fresh grass on a daily basis.
Lambs
Our ewes are proven Romneys, known for their excellent meat quality. The lambs are raised on pasture and supplemented with organic grains.
Geese
Our flock of Pilgrim geese has been carefully selected and we have successfully hatched several generations of our current stock.
Goats
For several months per year, our two Alpine goats produce enough milk for our family and for some raw milk we are able to sell.
Eggs
Our egg layers roam the farm and help keep the bug population under control. We never use any pesticides, thus, our eggs are clean and natural.
Learn about our approach to animal husbandry.
Our animals are our responsibility. We will only produce what we are willing to consume ourselves. For that reason, we follow a set of guidelines of animal husbandry and land management that meet our own expectations–guidelines we are willing to share with you, our customers.
The Homestead – A Challenge for the Whole Family
From planning, budgeting, purchasing, maintaining, selling, and even processing, the lessons for all members of the family are endless.
Teaching responsible decision-making and the considerations that go into that is priceless.

Livestock Health
Preventive health practices, stress reduction, barring use of hormones, minimal use of antibiotics in breeding stock, breed selection, animal welfare.
Biological Diversity
Wildlife and pollinator habitat, agroforestry, riparian buffers, mixed species grazing, heirlooms and heritage breeds.
Innovation
