Values

Our key value: A high-forage diet with absolutely no grain, animal by-products, antibiotics or growth hormones. USDA defines “pasture raised” livestock as spending over 51% of their life on pasture. Our lambs and goats spend 90 to 100% of their life on pasture with appropriate shelters for weather protection.

Quality of life for livestock: Our livestock spend their days in the open air and sunshine grazing our lush, green pastures in familiar settings. Our young stock spends the majority of their time safe with their mothers within the protective flock learning to choose from diverse forages.

Humane handling: Our animals are humanely treated from birth to harvest, following scientifically proven humane principles and holistic management practices. This Spirit of Humane actively improves their quality of life through the reduction of fear, discomfort and avoidable stressors. They routinely carry out their natural behaviors such as grazing, browsing, lactating and exploring their environment as appropriate to their species.

Farm: We are a small family farm. We use sustainable farming practices that improve the soil, increase biodiversity, and are beneficial to our local community’s environment. We use conservation and preservation methods. In practice, this means what we take out of the environment we put back in, so land and resources such as water, soil and fertility can be replenished and are available to future generations.

Product specifications: Our products are USDA inspected, vacuum-packed for quality, and meet high standards for freshness, tenderness and flavor. Religious requirements can be met such as halal certification.
