Becoming Organic
We were recently certified organic for our pasture, hay, chickens, eggs, and perennials.
Our dairy herd will begin the final year of transition to organic this summer (2008).
|
 |
|
Our Cows
Our 40-cow pasture based herd is comprised of primarily
registered and grade Holsteins. Current cross breeding practices
include New Zealand Holsteins, Jersey & Normande breeds.
We have also adjusted our calving intervals for seasonal
milking.
|
 |
No BST or hormones are used in the herd. No antibiotic
treated cows are included in the milking cows. Heifers are
raised on pasture and in the barn, on colostrum, raw milk
and hay. Once separated from their mothers, they are bottle
fed, then nipple bucket fed before weaning.
|
Certified Organic Chickens and Eggs
Our chickens are free to roam, eating a diet of certified organic feed, grasses in the growing season,
bugs and more.
We sell our certified organic eggs in our farm stand.
|
 |
 |
Our Flowers and Perennials
We grow a wide variety of hardy, certified organic perennials,
which are divided in the spring to sell along with annuals
started in a local greenhouse. Fresh cut flowers can frequently
be found for sale in our farm stand during the summer.
|
Our Grass/milk fed Veal
We raise the bull calves from the dairy herd on pasture with nurse cows until they are 3 to 4 months old. The result is a very tender, melt in your mouth meat. Contact us to order.
