Arthur and I transformed our farm from conventional crop production to focus on regenerative livestock agriculture. Initially, our goal was to provide a wholesome source of protein for ourselves and our extended family. Over the years, we have expanded our offerings and now sell grass-fed beef, lamb, pork, honey, and eggs to the public from our on-farm market.
We chose heritage breeds because of their ability to thrive on pasture, their good mothering traits, calm temperaments, and flavorful meat. While this concept seems simple in theory, it can be more complicated in practice. I wanted the animals to live in an environment that is healthiest for them and, ultimately, more nutritious for us. We believe that ruminants should have a diet consisting of grasses and forages, just as nature intended. Arthur and I ask ourselves, "What is best for the animals?" We believe it's fresh air, sunshine, and healthy forages.
The documentary showcases our vision for a farm that works harmoniously with nature and nurtures both the land and the animals.harmoniously with nature. I am humbled that Dave, Tom, and Richard felt our story worth sharing.
