Values & Certifications
We are fiercely committed to the well-being of our animals, as well as the quality of meat we provide to our customers. We honor that commitment by treating our animals with dignity and respect from the day they are born throughout their entire lives, including the day they are slaughtered.
We have learned that suffering can take many shapes and we needed to go further than simply "not inflicting pain and suffering on our animals." Animals should be able to express their instinctive behavior in a natural environment that is not a mono-species.
We are one of the only farms in the United States that has both red meat and poultry abattoirs located on the farm. The uniqueness of these two enormous investments demonstrates our family's commitment to our program. We have chosen to walk the walk.
