What do you feed your animals?

Beef:
Grassfed: Our beef cattle are 100% grass fed and finished. They do not eat any grain. Ever. We rotationally graze our cattle so they are moved daily to fresh pasture. During the winter months we use regenerative farming methods like bale grazing or unrolling bales to feed and move the cattle.

Pork:
Pasture Raised: Our hogs are pasture raised and rotated every 1-2 weeks onto fresh pasture. Hogs prefer to settle into an area so they are not moved daily like our other animals.
No-GMOS: Our hogs are fed a non-GMO grain that contains soy and corn.

Chicken Broilers (Meat Birds) and Egg Layers:
Pasture Raised: Our Broiler Chickens are raised only during the warm summer months and are moved onto fresh pasture every day. Our laying hens are truly free range. They are moved in portable chicken coops we call “schooners” during the warmer months when forage is growing in Michigan. During the colder winter months, we use a deep bedding system and roll out hay for our layers to forage through.
No-GMOS: Our poultry are fed a non-GMO grain that contains soy and corn.

Lamb:
Grassfed: Our sheep are 100% grass fed and finished. They do not get any grain ever. We rotationally graze our lambs and move them every day to fresh pasture.
