Our beef cows are raised and finished on grass forages, they are not fed any grain. They are moved to fresh grass paddocks frequently, this not only increases sanitation by moving them away from yesterday’s droppings, but also helps build soil and grass productivity. They are fed grass hay during the winter. We also don’t use any antibiotics, vaccines or added hormones.

By keeping our cows on grass and always on the move, we stray far from the conventional methods of raising beef animals, which involves confined spaces and lots of grain for their feed.

Behind the cows come the chickens. We house them in open bottom shelters. Within these shelters, the chickens have constant access to fresh grass, bugs and critters teaming within the grass. We never use antibiotics, vaccines or added hormones.

Our birds have free access to soy-free non-GMO feed. But they also gather a considerable part of their diet from forage and insects. We move their shelters to fresh grass daily, allowing the birds to explore a new piece of pasture. This also gives them a fresh bed of grass each night.

Compare this to how industrial poultry is raised, where birds are confined, tightly packed and never see the light of day. Beyond that, industrial birds are fed antibiotic-laced feed and require vaccinations–just to survive.

We believe there is a much better way, for the birds and for us. We process our chickens on farm, ensuring the chickens are superior from start to finish

Pigs are simply amazing creatures to observe as they use their large plow-like snouts to forage. The old saying is true, pigs will eat anything! Acorns, berries, grass, roots, vegetable scraps, and even bugs and grubs.

 To take advantage of this amazing foraging behavior, we run our pigs through partially wooded, partially pasture paddocks. This allows them to take advantage of all the food sources found within these paddocks, moving them to a fresh paddock weekly. They do have access to non-GMO feed, but derive a large amount of their nutrition from the land. We never use any antibiotics, vaccines or added hormones. 

 Our pigs spend their lives outside in the fresh air and sunshine, able to use their plow like snout to dig for roots and acorns to their heart’s delight! This is greatly contrasted by conventional pigs, where they are kept on concrete and metal grates in confinement buildings, where they never have access to fresh air or open space.

We do not raise our own turkeys here at the farm, to allow us to focus our energy on other areas of our farm that are growing and thriving! However we do purchase an order of fresh turkeys from Nicks Organic Farm in southern MD. These turkeys are fed non-GMO organic feed and are aggressively pastured, moved to new pasture daily. They will be processed by Nicks farm in November, and then ready for pickup here at the farm prior to Thanksgiving. They will be fresh, not frozen.
