As a family, we started raising our own butcher animals because we wanted healthier, better-tasting and local meats. From a family passion to live and eat better our farm continues to evolve every day. Our pastures are registered Organic (in 2009) and all our animals live in large rotating paddocks, thriving on fresh air and wide open spaces. We custom grind our hog ration here on the farm. This hog ration is made up of LOCAL grains - primarily no-spray wheat grown locally for us here in the Kootenai Valley. We raise a variety of breeds, including some heritage breeds. We sell pork and beef by the cut, or by the mixed quarter, half or whole. We offer a variety of sausages with Organic seasonings, completely free of nitrites/nitrates/MSG, along with no wheat or fillers. We also offer cured meats (with custom hog orders) with a cure made of Organic spices and NO nitrites/nitrates/MSG.
All our beef is butchered and processed when the grass is green and growing. This is important with Grass-Fed/Grass-Finished Beef because it keeps the meat at it's tenderest and most flavorful. To ensure the best possible beef, we butcher beef June through October, when our registered Organic pastures are lush and vibrant.

Practices (our standards for raising or making our products)
All our animals live on Idaho Registered Organic Pasture (certification is complete in 2009). They are rotationally grazed in spacious paddocks. Our goal is to create living conditions as close as possible to the animal's natural settings. Our whole family is involved in the farm, all our animals are family friendly and love a good scratch! We are supporting LOCAL Organic and Sustainable production of grains in the Kootenai Valley by teaming up with a LOCAL farmer to grow grain for us with no chemical inputs. We grind this grain here on the farm to supplement the diet of the chickens and hogs. Our goal is to convert more and more land to sustainable agriculture.
Again, all our beef is butchered and processed when the grass is green and growing. This is important with Grass-Fed/Grass-Finished Beef because it keeps the meat at it's tenderest and most flavorful. To ensure the best possible beef, we butcher beef June through October, when our registered Organic pastures are lush and vibrant.
Additional Information
We are a Family Farm. We would not be able to practice our passion without the help of our children, Emily (12) and Devin (9). We love what we do and we have lots of fun doing it. It is incredibly rewarding to live the life we live. We started doing this over six years ago to have tasty, healthy meat in the freezer and we are happy to offer the same meats we eat at our table to other like-minded people. We welcome and encourage visits to our farm - Emily & Devin are great tour leaders. Buy Fresh - Buy Local!
