Protocols

Cattle are raised on forage and finished on grass—no grain feeding.

Feed is sourced to avoid genetically engineered ingredients.

Dairy cows are pasture-based and receive small amounts of locally sourced, non-GMO, no-corn/no-soy grain to maintain body condition.

No added growth hormones are used in raising these animals.

Antibiotics are not used routinely; if an animal needs treatment, we treat responsibly.

Our pork comes from Berkshire hogs, a heritage breed known for excellent eating quality.

We give animals time to grow at a natural pace (pork ~8–9 months; chicken ~12–14 weeks).

We follow the Raw Milk Institute’s Common Standards for low-risk raw milk production and are working toward RAWMI Listing through ongoing testing and program participation.

Feed is sourced locally/regionally to support our community and supply chain resilience.

Milk comes from A2A2 Jersey cows

Made in small batches with careful handling for consistent quality.

Our chickens roam freely on pasture during the day and return to secure, movable coops at night.

This protocol applies only to select multi-ingredient products that are made without added sugar or sweeteners; any sweetness comes naturally from the ingredients. (Products sweetened with honey or sugar are labeled accordingly and do not carry this protocol.)
