Farming Practices
Sustainable Pasture Farming
It is important to us that the animals are out on high quality pasture as much as possible during the growing season. When they cannot be out on pasture, they are fed high quality hay from local farmers. All of the animals are also supplemented with salt and minerals to ensure animal health and quality of product. We are committed to providing wholesome products produced and processed without chemicals, antibiotics or hormones.
