FAQ
Does your livestock get vaccines or antibiotics?
We follow organic practices with an allowance to use RX treatments on a case by case bases – emergency C- Sections, surgery, lifesaving, in prevention of any suffering, etc…(the big things)
We do not use routine (yearly) vaccines in any livestock,
We have many prevention methods in place. IF Antibiotics are used, those animals are not in food production – 99.9% of any treatment in livestock on our farm is in young stock, the very young or the elderly.
Are you Organic or Naturally Grown?
While we are a mixture of both, we don't intend to pursue organic or naturally grown certifications – we believe in trust and transparency. We follow government, FDA, and USDA regulations.
What about all those labels out there? What does pastured mean? Grass-fed?
Pastured Pork – Hogs are omnivores, meaning they eat anything – but that doesn't mean we feed them just anything. We feed a balanced diet of healthy grains, grass, and plenty of pasture and woods to root in – that’s it!
Grass-fed Beef – cows are ruminates, they have multiple stomachs and MUST have 24/7 access to long stem fiber (meaning GRASS). Grasses are their primary fiber, and protein. Our cows get grains as a treat to ensure they are putting on enough weight to be able to handle weather conditions.
Our calves are raised on their mamas for a minimum of 8 months.
