Protocols

Our animals live outdoors year round. The cattle, chickens, and lamb have plenty of room to roam on pasture, green in the warmer months and dry in the colder months. Our chickens have access to mobile coops, protected from predators, and are moved to fresh pasture daily.

Our pigs are given plenty of room to run and play and root in deep bedded hoop houses. Deep bedded means that the pigs have plenty of straw and corn stalks to play, run and make a nest.

Our beef cattle are never fed any grain products during their lifetime. 100% grass fed means that the cattle only receive a forage based diet consisting of lush pastures in the warm months and high quality stored forages in the winter months.

Our non-ruminant animals are fed a high quality blend of non-GMO grains (including corn and rye) and minerals with no animal by-products. We try to grow as much of the feed as possible on our farm.

We do not use any GMO grains or fish or animal by-products in our feed.

Our animals are raised as naturally as possible. We do not use any drugs or antibiotics. 99.9% of the time, they aren’t needed when animals are naturally healthy. In the rare case an animal does fall ill and natural treatment does not work, that animal would not be used for food.

Instead of using hormones or steroids, we give our animals the time they need to grow.

Our all-natural processing ensures there are no added nitrates or nitrites to the meats you will consume. All our processed products contain no MSG.

A soy allergy can make it challenging to prepare a healthy meal. This protocol applies to our 100% grass fed raised meat products.  Their diet does NOT contain soy as an ingredient.

Our cattle are fed grass and only grass. Our pigs, lamb, chickens, and turkeys are fed a feed that contains only plants, with no animal byproducts.

These products are grown without the use of synthetic chemicals.

These products are 100% grown in Minnesota.
