On our farm we pride ourselves in maintaining primarily breeds of animals that are listed through the American Livestock Breed Conservancy as rare or threatened. These breeds, often described as 'heritage' existed long before commercial farming became the norm. By selecting the animal breeds to fit our farm, instead of inventing production systems to fit the breed, we are able to produce Certified Naturally Grown animals in a humane way without large amounts of organically certified grains, making healthy food reasonably priced. Obviously, you are what you eat, so spending a bit more to buy products produced naturally - with no GMO's, no hormones, no antibiotics, in stress free pastures and mountain range is actually investing in your health.

Read more about Certified Naturally Grown here - it's so much more than just feeding OMRI bags of feed or using no hormones! We put back into the land, improving it, buy locally, and avoid Genetically Modified Organism feeds. This is how this land has been farmed in the past, and the more we learn from those who farmed it before us, the more we are committed to preserving its heritage.

Founded in 2004, our farm has gone through many changes and strategies. We are facing an ever stronger regulatory tightening under the guise of 'food safety'. Therefore, we have chosen to provide direct to consumer sales only on our food products. We do not ship, we will not give up providing safe food that doesn't taste like cardboard, and we will not compromise on our ethics of treating the animals humanely. We are inspected yearly by WVDA, and our animals are health tested under our biosecurity program.

The only reason the framers of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights did not guarantee citizens freedom of food choice was because they could not have conceived of a day when private treaty neighbor-to-neighbor food commerce would be demonized and criminalized.

It's time you bypass the supermarket, buy from a local farmstead. Buy a rare breed product and keep them as a part of our farming bio-diversity.
