First Generation Farmers
Our overseas eating experiences were very different from those in the US with some resultant healthy life changing habits occurring. Frozen foods were almost nonexistent and canned food options were not much better. The ‘norm’ being fresh vegetables and meats. The impact of these limited food options is obvious – locals do not suffer from the same obesity rates as Americans. The American obesity epidemic has not hit Latin America.
Making a difference in America with our farm.
We chose heritage breed livestock, animals never selected for production in Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs). Our heritage breed animals thrive in their natural environment, producing flavorful and nutrient dense meats –food the way Mother Nature intended.
We are excited to be your farmer, growing and sharing healthy choices for you.
Take a minute to look through our website and see for yourself what we are all about.

Do You Know What’s in Your Meat?
When I was in Barnes and Nobles a couple of weeks ago I found a Consumer Reports Magazine at the register. The featured article was called, "What's Really in Your Meat." It's all about drugs in meats. I couldn't resist. I had to buy it... I found this to be an...
Interview with a Serial Cow Dealer
Our 15 year old daughter recently pointed out that my good friend, Kendy Sawyer, is like a drug dealer. Only Kendy deals in cows. She will be forevermore known in our house as Mom's "Cow Dealer." It's hard for me to say "no" to another cow... In my defense though,...
Why Rotating Our Chickens = BETTER Pastured Eggs
One of the questions I hear the most is this, “Why do you move your chickens around like this?” This often comes from neighbors who see the chicken wagon slowly traveling around the front field, and they wonder why am I wasting my time? Or more likely, they just...
Pork Chops Stewed With Fresh Tomatoes
I find myself always cooking pork chops the same way. I brown them on a skillet and then turn the temperature down and slow cook them on the skillet. They always taste good, but it's getting old. Plus, tomatoes are ready in my garden! I don't have enough tomatoes...
How to Slow Cook a Ham Roast
Cooking a ham roast has been on my to-do list since I picked them up from the processor last month. I usually brine and then slow cook ham roasts in the oven, but I wanted to try something different with this one. Something that could be whipped up really fast and...
What do you know about cows?
Cows are interesting creatures. Not quite like the horses I so loved growing up, but fun never-the-less. My mom was surprised when I purchased cows, as she remembers me having a distinct dislike of them. It was probably less of a dislike and more that they simply...
