Product Types: Bison and Pork About Us After many years of planning, in October of 2006 our first nine bison arrived followed by Midnight, our 2,400 lb bull who arrived in December. In May of 2009 with a 100% calf drop our herd increased by seven, with the potential of eight calves in due late spring/early summer of 2010. Our Tamworth pigs are an old heritage breed pasture pig that are rotated onto the paddocks when the bison are moved onto the next. They thrive on the grass and help to rejuvenate the pasture. They are in the pastures all year long, wintering in mobile huts and can spring and summer farrow in the pastures. We are in a growth mode, progressively increasing our acres of pasture with the assistance of the animals. Browse through our Products for Sale Practices (our standards for raising or making our products) We are located North of Sandpoint in Elmira. While not organic, we take a holistic approach to raising our animals with no chemical fertilizers or herbicides. We are a grass feed operation with oats used as treats. We use cover crops to assist with weed control and are planting our long term pastures in grass legume mixes. Additional Information We are growing and expanding our bison operation due to limited availability,we will only have meat available during certain times of the year.

Product Types: Vegetables, Greens, Small Fruit, Eggs About Us Muskrat Hill Farm is located on five acres above Muskrat Lake in the Gypsy Bay area of Sagle. It has been our long term plan to use our land in an environmentally and economically sustainable manner to produce a quality product and provide supplemental income for our retirement. For the past three years we have concentrated on improving the soil of our planned growing area by the use of cover crops and green and animal manures. We have also fed a lot of deer. The deer fence is up and it is now time to harvest something besides rocks and roots. We have conducted extensive trial plantings to determine what does best in our area. Through the use of shade cloth, row covers, and our greenhouse and hoop house, we hope to extend our harvesting season to at least ten months of the year. Browse through our Products for Sale Practices (our standards for raising or making our products) All products are naturally grown using sustainable, organic practices. We use no pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. Soil amendments, if used, meet organic standards. So far we have successfully controlled disease and insect damage by crop rotation, companion planting, row covers, encouragement of beneficial insects, and removal of infected leaves or plants. Voles and gophers are trapped. If additional measures are required, organic standards will be followed. We eat this stuff too.
Product Types: Soap, Chevon(goat) meat, Garlic, Handcare, eggs, garden produce, natural Deodorants About Us Gabriel Creek Ranch was established in 1988 by Todd and Sarah Mitchell. We started out ranching horses, beef, and sheep; later we sold the beef and replaced them with elk. Now we have a larger variety of animals including horses, elk, rabbits, sheep, goats, and poultry. We breed, train, and sell working Arabians and Appaloosas. Elk and Rabbits are bred and raised for meat; currently we have customers in both Washington and Idaho. Sheep are raised mainly for noxious weed control and some are sold for meat. We have a mixed flock of goats including dairy and meat goats. Milk from our dairy goats is used in the production of soap which is sold at a few local businesses and at craft fairs in the Sandpoint area. Poultry are mainly for egg production.

Heritage Farms is located in the beautiful Cocolalla Valley in the Idaho Panhandle. Our animals have a symbiotic relationship with the pastures on which they graze, each feeding the other without chemical inputs to either.
While most chickens are raised in 100% confinement, we've found that pasturing our birds adds quality while making farming more environmentally friendly. On our pastures, there's an entire ecosystem geared towards absorbing manure and eliminating pollution. The addition of fresh green plants to the chickens' diet adds quite a bit of flavor to the eggs, while the lack of crowding makes health problems uncommon. Free range eggs not only taste better and have darker yolks, but they are certainly higher in nutrients and have a superior Omega 3/Omega 6 balance to ordinary eggs.
Our Grazing Program ensures that our cattle are always grazing on lush green fresh grass, while at the same time replacing the broad spectrum nutrients they are removing. Every few days the cattle are moved to fresh pasture, and replaced by chickens, which then scatter the beef fertilizer while adding their own variety and controlling fly and bug populations. The chickens also convert the grass to luscious natural meat and eggs for your dining pleasure.
Through our Herd Share program you can receive milk from your own Dairy Cow, lovingly cared for and milked for you twice daily.
We offer Free Range Eggs and Dairy Cow Boarding year around as well as high quality Grass Finished Beef and Broiler/Fryer Chickens in season. Beef is sold by the whole, half, or quarter, or frozen by the package. Call for availability.
Visitors are always welcome at Heritage Farms; we love to give you and your family a “Farm Experience” tailored to your tastes. Children love to gather eggs, go for a hay ride and pet the milk cows. Sometimes there is a calf that they can bottle feed. Call 208-683-4410 to make arrangements. Browse through our Products for Sale Practices (our standards for raising or making our products) All-natural, no hormones, antibiotics or chemicals used in production. Organic principles applied, but not certified organic. Beef is never fed any grain, only grass-fed and grass-finished. Our beef has never been given any hormones, antibiotics or other chemical, nor have they ever been fed any grain, which could cause them to have health problems. Research shows that Grass-Finished Beef is as low fat as a skinless chicken breast, low cholesterol, and high in Omega-3 Fatty Acids. And the flavor is absolutely unbeatable!
Poultry are out on pasture when weather is appropriate, cage free at all times in large ventilated barn with fresh shredded hay for feed, excercise, and have fresh hay to eat and to use for bedding daily. The eggs they lay have dark yellow yolks which are perky in the pan, and do not spread out. Plus the flavor is absolutely WONDERFUL! Additional Information We practice ecology-based farming which mimics nature to create an agro-ecology where water is conserved and not polluted, and plant nutrients are recycled to produce the healthiest possible plants, animals and human consumers. Animal byproducts (manure and litter) are composted and spread on the hay fields to recycle the nutrients. No chemical fertilizers are ever used. Our goal is to build soil health and plant diversity by supplying natural means. Healthy soil produces healthy plants and healthy plants produce healthy animals which, in turn, help to produce health in our customers.
