GRASS-FED BEEF
We raise a combination of South Poll and Angus cattle here on our Ohio pastures, and we partner with the Aesoph family in South Dakota, where their primarily Angus herd grazes on untouched native prairie. These genetics are known for their docile temperament, adaptability to forage-based diets, and exceptional ability to finish beautifully on grass alone - resulting in tender, flavorful beef without the need for grain.Across both farms, the same standards guide everything we do.
We use management-intensive (mob) grazing to move the herd frequently, mimicking nature and allowing the land to rest, recover, and regrow. This approach keeps animals on fresh forage, builds soil carbon, increases plant diversity and density, and ultimately enhances the nutritional quality of the meat that reaches your family’s table.
We do not use any grain, vaccines, antibiotics, growth hormones, or chemical sprays. We strictly provide fresh pasture daily, water and kelp/sea salt for minerals. The cattle spend their entire lives on lush forage pasture, always headed to fresh pasture, the way nature intended.
Our grass-fed finished beef is processed at a family owned USDA inspected facility where it is dry aged for 10-14 days for extraordinary tenderness and flavor without the use of chlorine washes —an old-world practice that has become rare, but one we refuse to give up for the sake of quality.
PASTURE RAISED CHICKEN
We raise Cornish Cross meat chickens. We rotate the birds through diversified pasture to forage for insects and grubs. We provide them with a new section of land each day to not only increase the quality of the meat but also to help improve the land.
Along with their diversified pasture diet, we provide an all natural, non-GMO, corn & soy free feed. Together, these high quality items ensure that our chickens are receiving optimal nutrition in their diets which makes for delicious and nutritious meat for our customers.
Federal regulations prohibit the use of hormones in raising poultry and we do not treat with antibiotics. Our chickens are provided fresh water, bugs, grubs, high quality feed that consists of non-gmo grains (wheat, barley, peas, fish/crab meal, probiotics, vitamins and minerals - free from corn, soy and flaxseed) plus they soak up the sunshine daily - that's it!
Our chicken is processed and packaged at a family USDA inspected facility that does not use chlorine washes.
PASTURED PORK
We raise various crosses of heritage breeds of hogs. Our hogs are probably my favorite animal on the farm. We work with a trusted breeder who provides top quality hogs for our pastured pork operation, but eventually we will take on the task of raising piglets ourselves.
The hogs spend their entire lives running about, laying under shade trees, taking mud baths and tilling the land with their powerhouse snouts.
The forest area that they live in is a combination of diversified pasture and wooded area. Hogs love the shade and, in the summer, they need it! We move them to a new paddock every 7 to 14 days depending on the weather, so they constantly have access to new forage. We start with piglets in the early spring and raise them for harvest in the fall.
Heritage breeds are known for their friendly personalities and their meat is prized for juiciness, flavor and tenderness. Our pork is pink-hued and heavily marbled for a delicious taste!
Our hogs are fed an all-natural, non-GMO, corn, flaxseed & soy free feed. It consists wheat, barley, peas, probiotics, vitamins and minerals.
We never use antibiotics or growth hormones. All of our pork is processed at a family owned USDA inspected facility.
