Raised with Care

We raise our animals in a humane manner and give them the opportunity to fully express their true natural instincts

We want transparency and trust when buying our nutrient dense protein. We hope this helps understand our protocol for our animals.

Protocol for our Hogs:

  • Vegetarian-Fed
    All pigs are fed a 100% vegetarian diet, consisting of grains, legumes, and other plant-based feeds. No animal by-products are included in the feed rations.

  • Raised Without Antibiotics
    Pigs are raised without antibiotics from birth to harvest. No sub-therapeutic or therapeutic antibiotics are used at any stage of the animal’s life. If an animal becomes ill and requires antibiotics, it is treated accordingly and removed from the program.

  • No Tail Docking or Teeth Clipping
    We do not practice tail docking or teeth clipping on piglets. Our animals are raised in environments that support natural behaviors and reduce the need for physical alterations.

  • Crate-Free
    All pigs, including sows, are raised without the use of gestation or farrowing crates. Animals are housed in open environments that allow for freedom of movement and socialization.

Protocol for our Sheep:

  • Grass-Fed
    Our sheep are raised on pasture and fed a 100% forage-based diet, including fresh grass, hay, and other pasture-based forages. No grain is used in their regular diet. Our ewes (mamas) get grain on our farm tour which are our breeding stock and do not get butchered.

  • Raised Without Antibiotics
    Sheep in our program are raised without the use of antibiotics from birth to harvest. If an animal requires antibiotics for health or welfare reasons, it is treated responsibly and removed from this program.

  • Humane Animal Care
    Our sheep are handled with care and respect, with access to shelter, clean water, shade, and pasture for grazing. They are raised in an environment that allows for natural social behaviors and movement. No painful physical alterations (such as tail docking or mulesing) are performed on our sheep.

Protocol for our Chickens:

  • Pasture Access
    All chickens are raised with daily access to pasture where they can forage, dust bathe, and express natural behaviors. They are provided shelter to protect them from the elements and predators.

  • Raised Without Antibiotics
    Our chickens are raised without antibiotics from hatch to harvest. If a bird requires antibiotics for health or welfare reasons, it is treated accordingly and removed from this program.

  • Humane Animal Care
    We are committed to humane animal husbandry. Chickens are raised in clean, uncrowded conditions with access to fresh air, clean water, natural light, and species-appropriate feed. We do not perform any beak trimming or other routine physical alterations.
