What do you feed your animals?
We make every effort to provide you with a clean and natural product. When our animal
management program requires grain, we attempt to use certified organic. Resources for
certified organic grain are limited in our area and the producers are very small. When those
resources have been depleted we use local GMO free grain. Our cattle are not "finished on
grain" -just grass! We also use extruded or roasted soybeans along with Fertrell organic
vitamin and mineral mix (recommended by Joel Salatin ... the famous farmer/author)!
Can I buy your meat anywhere else?
No. We use a state inspected butcher shop, but our animals are not trucked to a USDA
processing plant. All meat sold in restaurants, farmers markets, and stores must be processed
at a USDA facility. We pre-sell our live animals to individual consumers. Our meat is direct from
the farmer to you. You will be able to notice the difference in our meat quality!
Can I visit your farm?
Yes. We welcome visitors, by appointment, during summer and fall months. Check out our
Farm Tours/Field Trips!

Why do you include Emu and Bison in your CSA?
Emu and Bison are two of the leanest RED meats you can purchase. The American Heart
Association recently included Emu in it's listing of heart healthy meats. Both are very tasty with
high levels of iron and B-12 and low levels of cholesterol.
If I join your CSA, will I get a lot of Emu and Bison?
You will probably get at least one cut of either Emu or Bison occasionally. We usually keep this
in ground form so that you can use it in spaghetti, chili, casseroles, etc.
In your CSA, do we have to get organ meats?
No. We tend to stay with the prime cuts such as roasts, steaks, chops and ground meat. Beef
liver is available as an option at certain times of the year.
