Our Values
High-forage diet with absolutely no animal by-products, antibiotics or growth hormones.
Pasture-raised: We believe pasture-raised is absolutely, without a doubt, better for the animals, better for the environment, better for your health…which is better for you! 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.
Quality of life for livestock: Our livestock spend their days in the open air and sunshine grazing our lush, green pastures. Our young stock spend the majority of their time safe with their mothers within the protective flock learning to choose from a diverse forage menu much like the joy we experience at a well stocked salad bar.
Humane Handling: Our animals are humanely treated from birth to harvest following not only scientifically proven humane principles but also with the “Spirit of Humane” in mind to actively improve 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.
Farmers: We are 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 practices this means what is taken out of the environment is 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.
