We raise lamb, pork and beef. We may also have turkeys. Our animals range free on pasture and live a very good life. They get occasional grain but this is not a substantial part of their diet. They are not fed hormones or antibiotics. You are encouraged to sign-up early and give a deposit if you wish to purchase meat.

Some of the best bacon comes from these hogs.
