Pasture-raised, slow-grown,
the way it ought to be.

Pasture-raised chickens in the grassThe flock on pasture

Tucked into the rolling hills of Elkin, North Carolina, our family farm sits on 15 acres of pasture and woodland in the heart of the Yadkin Valley.

We raise pasture-raised meat chickens, grass-fed beef, and gather fresh eggs from our laying flock — animals that live the way they should: outside, on the grass, fed on what the land gives. It's slower work than the modern way. We wouldn't have it any other way.
