Living and moving around outdoors, eating what they are designed to eat, with their health and happiness in mind. Just like we keep your health and happiness in mind.

We practice regenerative farming practices with our main goal to renew the health of the land. To have it thrive not just survive. we manage the land with the whole in mind and make decisions accordingly for our family as well as yours.

Transparent
We believe knowing where your food comes from is important and building a trusting relationship with our customers. We invite you to visit our farm, meet our people and get to know our values about food and the land.
Healthier, More Nutritious
Grass-fed vs grain fed products are significantly higher in nutrients and minerals, including beta-carotene, vitamin E, vitamin D, B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Grass fed beef also contains 2 - 4X more Omega-3s and 5x more CLA and is lower in fat and cholesterol.
Carbon Credit Farming
We are actually grass farmers. Growing as much grass, forest, and plants at the highest quality we can. This involves making sure the soil is healthy & abundant with microbial life. We grow acres upon acres of carbon sequestering greenery. Our cows then manicure it for us and you get healthy, nutrient dense, beef.

Bulk Beef: A great cost effective way to have nutritious beef available is to purchase by whole, half, or quarter animal quantities. A deposit is required prior to processing the animal for your order
Our Cows: We specialize in Red Devon cows and are breeding in heat tolerance with some other breeds. Red Devons are an ancient breed of cattle from southern England’s Devon County, prized for its docility and tender gourmet beef. They are hardy, thrifty cattle that do well on grass, without grain supplements. Our cattle are raised in Randolph County without any hormones or antibiotics, resulting in unsurpassed taste and tenderness.
Processing: We are lucky enough to live in a region where there are several smaller quality USDA or NC State certified processors. Our animals are processed per our direction and each cut comes labeled and individually vacuum packed and frozen.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
OUR PASTURED PORK
Our pigs grow in our woods letting the pigs be pigs. They root, wallow, and run around. Their feed consists of non-GMO grains grown in North Carolina. In addition, their paddocks in the woods provides them forbs, grass, and legumes that grow in our woods. We believe healthy soils will make healthy pigs that will make healthy pork. Our pork is raised without added growth hormones or antibiotics. Our pastures and woods are maintained without herbicides or pesticides. Help support local, regenerative and sustainable farming in the Piedmont of North Carolina.
