All Natural Black Angus Beef, All Natural Pork, & Pastured Poultry from our family to yours!

NO Antibiotics - NO Steroids - NO Synthetic Proteins - NO Growth Hormones

Hello and welcome to our family farm website. We are a family owned and operated multi-generation farm dedicated to the production of all natural meat. Our poultry, eggs, beef and pork are the finest tasting, most healthy meat that is available. All of our animals are cared for by one of the six members of our family. They are treated with dignity and respect from birth to harvest. They have fresh air, clean water, sunshine, protection from bad weather and room to roam. The "grocery store" poultry, beef and pork are fed whatever is cheapest and they are crammed into pens containing thousands of animals where they barely have enough room to move about.

Our beef starts with the best tasting breed in the industry, Angus. We use 100% registered Angus Bulls selected for their desirable carcass traits bred to Angus cows. This breeding produces a healthy, vigorous calf that will yield a very desirable carcass. The calves are born on our farm and grow up on a diet of their mothers milk, grass hay (grown and harvested by us), grass, and clover. They are weaned from their mother when they are 5-600 pounds and placed on a separate pasture. Here they are allowed to graze freely and introduced to a grain diet. Our grain is the finest, corn, ground soybeans, cottonseed meal, and minerals that we can find. At one year old their ration of grain is increased to promote growth and inter-muscular fat (this makes the steaks juicy.) At 15 months of age, they are harvested. They are taken to a Federal USDA inspected facility and are processed to your specs. They will arrive nicely packaged and labeled with the cut of meat, weight, and date of processing.

The pork is grown much the same. They are artificially inseminated with the leading sires in the swine industry. They are bred for leanness and muscle, and they pass this on to their offspring. This yields a lean, healthy meat that is flavorful and juicy. The ham is wonderful, the sausage is lean and tasty, and the bacon actually has more meat than fat! They too are fed an all natural grain diet of corn & ground soybeans, and fed in the same roomy "pigpen" along with their siblings.

Our Pastured Poultry is raised in floorless portable pasture shelters that are moved daily. This allows them to ingest copious amounts of fresh greens along with their regular ration of locally grown grains. We use Joel Salatins model from Polyface Farm to grow our birds. We grow the Cornish Cross breed that delivers a wonderful firm, juicy, and delicious meal free from antibiotics, hormones, and steroids. They are processed in a USDA inspected facility for your safety.

Our brown egg layers are raised in a portable “egg mobile.”  They are protected from predators by a high tech electric net.  This allows them access to ¼ acre paddocks to freely graze the grass, which raises the Omega’s and CLA content of the eggs, making them actually good for you!  Eggs are gathered daily, washed, candled, and packaged under a USDA permit to do so.  These eggs have a beautiful deep colored yolk that actually stand up above the white.  The yolk is easily separated by hand without breakage.  They are highly sought after by chefs for their great taste.

Our four children eat from the same group of animals that your family does, so you can ensure that the quality and wholesomeness will be in every piece of meat we produce.
