Protocols

None of our crops are genetically modified.

Our beef eat green growing grass from our certified organic pastures during the summer months and our certified organic hay during the winter. We raise Angus cattle for their abilty to thrive and fatten on a diet of only grass. We never feed grains of any kind. Our cattle are not just 100% grass fed and finished but they are also grass fat which results in beautifully marbled, healthy, tender meat!

Processed without added sugar, honey, or maple syrup.

The animal has never received any vaccines.

Animals belong outside on the land. Our animals are raised as God intended on the ground and allowed to live according to their nature i.e. pigs wallow and root and chickens scratch and dust bathe, etc.

No antiobiotics or hormones in our meat. If an animal is sick and needs intervention we always turn to natural remedies. However, if an animal is suffering, and needs antibiotics we will separate it from the herd and sell it at auction and never to our customers.

We wholeheartedly believe in the organics movement and in producing the cleanest food possible. In fact, our animals eat only certified organic feed. They never receive any steroids, antibiotics, medication, or hormones. And our processed meats are made with organic spices. To be certified organic, each animal must be individually registered and certified. That comes with a cost, which we would have to pass on to the consumer. Therefore we use the term "organically raised" to mean raised to meet or exceed the organic standard without the certification.

Certified Naturally Grown (CNG) which means it was produced "by working in harmony with nature, without relying on synthetic chemicals or GMOs.

The honey is also "sustainably harvested" meaning the beekeeper is careful to leave enough honey for the bees so they can make it through the winter, resulting in a healthier hive and a healthier ecosystem.

The chickens live in a spacious barn without cages and with access to a yard. 

We move the animals every day for the greatest benefit to the land and the animals. This way there is an even spread of manure returned to the pasture and the cattle always have fresh grass. Rotational grazing builds the organic matter in the soil and helps prevent erosion in the hilly Driftless region. It is an amazing cycle where manure feeds the soil that grows the grass that nourishes the cattle. Health starts in the soil.

Our meats are processed without added nitrates or nitrites. Instead we use celery powder, vegtable powder, or cherry powder.

Regenerative agriculture is a way to build the health of the soil — and ultimately entire farms and ranches — by tapping into nature's natural processes. Learning to work with nature, rather than against it, will benefit us all in the end: the soil, water, air, plants, animals and people. - Noble Research Institute
