PASTURE RAISED POULTRY
We believe that you should have a choice in what you eat, and not have to eat all of the antibiotic and hormone laden chicken available in the super market. Yes, they are cheap, but not healthy. I have been raising chicken for our family freezer for 17 years now, and believe me there is a huge difference in our chicken compared to your other choices out there. We like to call ours "Chicken Like Grandma Used To Fix". Our chicks are started in the brooder house for a couple of weeks since they need a heat source to stay warm, then around 2-3 weeks of age they have grown enough and have developed feathers to stay warm, then they are moved outside in our bottomless pens on fresh pasture, mostly clover, which they love, and bugs, fresh air and sunshine, they are moved to a fresh spot of pasture every morning. They are very happy chickens, they run around and flap their wings and catch bugs, then they like to rest and stretch out in the sunshine. They are fed a custom blend of grains and a natural vitamin and mineral mix. They have a fresh supply of water that drips cool well water to them all day. They are never fed any antibiotics or hormones at any time. The supermarket chicken packages notes " No added hormones or antibiotics" meaning that none extra is added, this does not include what is already in their feed and water. We do our own processing here on our farm in a climate controlled environment, held at 40 degrees. It is inside, so they are not processed outside where the heat and bugs can get to them. We then air chill them to 36 degrees for 8 hours before bagging, then we turn down the temperature and allow them to freeze. Air chilling has many benefits to the flavor of the meat, since the chicken is not chilled in ice water like most, it only contains it's own natural juices, not allowing the bird to soak in the chill water that all of the others are soaking in. Air chilling is a much safer way to quickly chill down the bird after processing. Give one a try, we are sure you will like it!

We have learned from our customers that you would rather have a really good lean ground beef. So we have made the decision to cut only the best steaks to package and sell. Then we grind the rest of the steaks and the roasts into the ground beef. Making a very good lean product. Give it a try, and let us know what you think!
All of our cattle are born and raised on our farm, they run with their mothers and get milk and all the fresh grass they can eat.They are grazed on the pastures, hills and valleys of our farm, rest in the shade of the woods and cool off in the spring fed ponds. In the winter they are fed alfalfa-orchard grass hay that we put up off of our farm. They are completely grass fed and finished, never being fed ANY grain, or any antibiotics, hormones or steroids. Truly the way nature intended. Our cattle never consume anything from off our farm except salt and an all natural mineral. Grass fed beef has a wonderful taste, texture and marbling, without the unwanted fat that grain puts on them. The fat on our beef is natural from the grass which makes our beef high in Omega 3 and conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA).
RAW MILK
We offer raw milk from our small herd of jersey cows, these girls graze the green pastures the same as our beef herd, as with all of our animals nothing is treated with any kind of antibiotics or hormones. They also eat the same hay in the winter as the beef cows.
Dales family has always been in the dairy business, starting with his Grandpa Speedy, then the farm continued on with Dale's parents, and Dale joined in when he was old enough to help. We milked our herd of 150 holsteins until November of 2000, when we sold out due to low milk prices. Since then we missed fresh milk and bought a few jersey's for our supply.
Raw milk is only available for pick up at the farm. If you would like to try some let us know, if you would like to become a regular customer and get on the pick up schedule we will make arrangements with you. We package in 1/2 gallon glass jars. The milk is cream top, great for making your own butter. It makes great yogurt and cheese, once you try this you will never go back to store bought dairy products again. Our milk is never pasturized or homogenized. Just fresh from the cow, the way it should be!
1/2 Gallon Raw Milk $ 2.50 each.
This is "Girlfriend" one of the jersey girls, with her new calf " Curtis" born on 9-16-09.
