Because we raise our beef from start to finish, we can assure you that our beef have been given: Grass-Fed and Finished Beef has been recognized in many books and cookbooks in the last few years. Be sure to read our cooking tips or use a one of the many grass-fed cookbook for your recipes temperatures and cooking times.
Dry-Aged, Grass Fed, Grass Finished Beef is DeliciousDry-Aged Flavor - Grass fed & finished beef is an extremely lean and nutritious beef. The art of dry aging tenderizes the beef and concentrates its wonderful beefy flavor. Dry aging is a simple, natural process but a more time consuming one. Dry aging requires longer storage (at least 2 weeks), and creates increased shrinkage (equates to 15-20% less marketable beef) but concentrates the flavors as in vegetable drying.

Pastured Pigs - Our Hampshire-Berkshire mixed breed pigs are raised outdoors on pasture. Pigs are good browsers and consume a considerable amount of grass and turn the soil for trace minerals. They have made great wallows in the wet spots of their pasture. The animals live low stress lives and have the freedom to exercise the full range of their normal behaviors including rooting, scratching, preening, wallowing, and taking sunbaths. They can often be found snoozing in their lean to shed in summer and in the protection of the barn in winter. The pigs are fed locally raised whole corn and soybeans or a locally raised and freshly ground mix of corn and soybean mash with trace minerals added. In the growing season, they also eat fresh greens from the pasture and the weeds gleaned from our flower and vegetable gardens.
Our Philosophy - We are believers in consuming fresh, natural, locally grown foods and do our best to grow as many of our own foods as possible. Although we are not a certified organic operation, we practice techniques on our 450-acre farm intended to increase the fertility of our soils, increase the diversity of the plants in our pastures, hayfields and woodlands and use no unnatural chemicals on our land or animals. Sustainable practices and "slow food" concepts are a key to our endeavors. |
