Pastured Eggs - Laying hens serve as our pasture sanitation engineers. Just as Nature's template depicts, birds follow herbivores to forage, eat bugs, scratch through cattle droppings cleansing the pasture biologically. We are able to take a liability - parasites and flies for the cows - and turn it into an asset - nutrient dense, immunologically strengthening eggs. Taste the sunshine and fresh air in each bite!!

Pigaerator Pork - During the summer and fall pigs are used as landscape managers digging, rooting and disturbing the ecology of the paddocks to stimulate positive successional growth. During the fall pigs will have the opportunity to finish on the nuts from the various species of trees we have around the farm. During the winter the pigs will be moved into a deep bedding environment to allow the paddocks to rest and to ensure a more comfortable environment for the pigs. Spring is the time the pigs earn their title - Pigaerators - after feeding the cows hay in a covered shed throughout the winter pigs will be brought in to aerate the bedding pack in search of the fermented corn that we mix in throughout the winter. Once finished we will have the perfect compost to take to our pastures to continue our mission to build soil on the farm.

Pastured Chicken - We like to say that we raise industrial birds in a non-industrial way. The chickens are moved each day in their 10x12x2 field shelter to a fresh salad bar to forage for grass and bugs, supplementing their feed ration that contains GMO-free corn. The cows mow ahead of these field shelters to prepare the table for the chickens. We raise the chickens seasonally ( March - October) due to our climate during the winter months and the inability of the chickens to remain on pasture. We want the chickens to ingest as much green material as its genetic potential will allow.

Salad Bar Beef - Herbivores exhibit three characteristics in Nature - mobbed up for predator protection, movement daily to fresh forage and away from yesterday's droppings, and eating a diet consisting of forage and other plants not dead animals, chicken manure, grain, or fermented forage. We try to mimic this template by utilizing hi-tech electric fencing to facilitate the mob, the moving, and mowing. This type of beef production is the most ecologically enhancive due to its positive impact on the earthworms, the nutrition of the meat, and its ability to build soil.
