Pastured Animals~our evolving Philosophy...
Striving to naturally and organically raise our animals free from chemicals, pesticides, antibiotics, and growth hormones, we find it a worthy challenge. We grow, learn, and grow some more thru this whole process. With loving care and some good pasture, our animals are thriving in a natural environment. Pasture fed horses, cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, guinea fowl, turkeys and geese are just some of our animals we raise on the farm. Along the way we are learning to transition our reliance on corn to non GMO grains and locally grown feeds. Each of these endeavors takes patience, endurance, studying, trail and error, and a lot of prayer. But we are finding the journey rewarding, as we strive to make our family farm more self-sustaining!!
