Our herd is in the process of being tested, but we know that the majority of our girls came for A2/A2 bloodlines from the American Guernsey Association. So while we cannot guarantee it's 100% A2/A2, we are confident that the answer is yes, pending receipt of their results.

We milk Guernsey Cows! Most of our girls are registered with the American Guernsey Association, and a few of them are in the American Guernsey Association's genetic recovery program.

Besides the aesthetic qualities in our vintage-looking half-gallon milk bottles, we feel that the milk gives a better flavor and is healthier for you when bottled in glass bottles vs plastic.

We are often asked how we can sell our ground beef for $8.25lb when folks are selling 1/4 or 1/2 of a beef for $4.50lb which includes all the nicer cuts as well. The answer requires some math and honesty/transparency on the part of the farmer. There is no doubt, if you have room in your freezer to buy bulk, you will save money when buying beef. HOwever, it may not be as much as you think. if you buy half of a steer that hangs at 800lbs, at $4.50lb HANGING WEIGHT, generally, you are also paying for cut/wrap and slaughter fees on top of that, which can add anywhere between $1.00-$2.00lb to your price right there. So for easy math, let's say your cut/wrap/slaughter fees add $1.50 per lb. So now you're at $6 per lb. But what you take home from the butcher will end up being approximately 65-70% of the hanging weight of the steer. The animal loses blood while hanging and when butchered, a lot of the larger, unusable bones, etc are discarded. Half of your 800lb steer just shrunk from 400lbs to approximately 260lbs of actual meat in your freezer. But you paid $6 per lb hanging weight... that's $2400 for 260lbs of meat, which comes out to $9.23 per lb. So no matter which way you slice it, you're paying at least $9.23 per lb for your meat. I hope that helps clear up any confusion, and helps you understand why we have set our pricing for individual cuts and packages the way we have.

Our steers are finished on grass or a blend of grass & non-GMO corn from a nearby Hutterite colony. We withhold grain for two weeks before slaughter, so the grain is completely flushed from their system by butcher time. Please specify which type of finish you'd like when ordering beef!

There are a lot of misconceptions regarding this question, so I will answer with as much transparency as possible. We do not feed or inject hormones of any kind. We do not give antibiotics or vaccines except in extreme circumstances. There are certain viruses that live in the soil that are preventable by vaccine. Years ago, our cows started dying after exposure to Black Leg and we were forced to give a 7 way vaccine or lose the herd. This vaccine is not live and does not contain hormones. We give this vaccine one time to all our cattle before they turn 1 year old, which is months if not years before they are ever slaughtered for meat. Antibiotics are only given in acute care for animals suffering from infection, and never to an animal we will be butchering for meat.

Our beef cows are Belted Galloways! AKA oreo cows! They are a traditional Scottish breed, are very hearty, durable, easy on fences and docile.

We raise a mix of Berkshire, Hampshire and Duroc hogs. These hogs have unmatched genetics straight from Europe, to assure the highest quality meat, as well as intact instincts when it comes to farrowing and caring for their babies.

Our hogs eat mostly a corn/soy-free non-gmo grain mix along with lots of raw milk from our dairy. If you haven't tried bacon from a dairy-fed hog, you're missing out!

There is so much confusion regarding the different way to raise chickens, and much concern over the proper handling and care... and rightly so. Our chickens have free range of our farm. They forage in the pasture eating bugs and grass, they scratch in the hog pen (whenever the hogs will allow it), and they loaf in the shade of our home, sometimes even greeting me on my front porch! I cannot actually envision a more humane way to raise chickens. Rest assured your eggs come from very happy, healthy hens!
