Our Farming Practices

​Animals should be treated with respect. Our animals have free access to wholesome and nutritious food. They have the ability to get ample exercise and spend all of their time outside. They are pampered and loved on daily. We have ear tags that monitor their rumination, fertility, and overall health. In the rare case an animal falls ill, they receive prompt medical attention.

​We have never and will never give our animals mRNA vaccines. It's a hard no. What about other old fashioned vaccines? Do we vaccinate our animals? The short answer is no. We do not routinely vaccinate any of our animals. However, some of our cows received a vaccinations before coming to our farm. 

The laying hens and ducks live on pasture year round, but of course they prefer to be inside near a heater in the very cold months. In addition to the bugs and seeds they forage for naturally, they are fed a GMO-free, soy-free, and corn-free feed that contains a specially formulated blend of wheat, peas, barley, fishmeal, flax seed, kelp, and a nutri-balancer which has kelp, vitamins, and minerals. 

​Since our animals live an active life and eat a natural diet, an animal falling ill is rare. However, if it does happen, we give homeopathics and exhaust all resources before resorting to conventional medicine. If an animal does get antibiotics or anything synthetic, they would not be used for food.

​Since we are not a “certified organic” farm, we cannot legally use the word “organic” to describe our food… even though it’s probably the best word in modern American culture to use. 

Although we're not “certified organic”, we follow most of the requirements plus some. All of our food is GMO free, synthetic pesticide and herbicide free, antibiotic free, hormone free, irradiation free, chemical free, sludge free, unidentifiable ingredient free... you get the point.

We want to spend time farming, not paying fees and doing mindless paperwork. If you have any specific questions about our farming practices, get in touch! We are an open book and will go above and beyond to answer very specific questions.
