“We love our animals and treating them ethically is our greatest priority. We name them; we pet them; we hand-feed them cantaloupe. They have never been given any type of hormones, steroids, or antibiotics, and their pastures have never been sprayed, planted, or treated. They have a valley of woods to bed down in, and their water comes from our well. It is important for us to know exactly what we’re eating, and we believe our customers feel the same way. There is a great deal of pride that goes along with offering a product that is not only delicious and healthy, but also the highest quality of meat possible. We think it’s the way things should be. “

“Our sheep and goats have free-choice mineral and eat grass from our pasture from spring through fall. They eat hay that we have baled during winter. When we do outsource hay, such as alfalfa, it is non-GMO. Our chickens are pastured as well but supplemented with a non-GMO feed that is made up of corn, soybean meal and other required vitamins and minerals. Our goats are given a copper supplement orally once every 8 months.”
