Regenerative Farming
Nestled in Hancock County, Indiana, this fertile land grew corn before we happened upon it. We acquired this farm in 2010 to implement Regenerative Farming practices and inspired by Alan Savory, Manage Holistically. Fields of corn have been replaced by cattle, chickens and pigs working their way through rich pastures, dining on nature’s salad bar and living as nature intended.
Indiana imports an estimated 90% of its food. More than $14.5 billion is spent by Hoosier consumers each year buying food sourced outside the state. (Source: Ken Meter, Hoosier Farmer? Emerging Food Systems in Indiana). “A vital consumer movement seeking healthier food choices, born 40 years ago in Bloomington, has expanded and matured,” Meter says. “Now, people all over Indiana seek to know the farmer that feeds them, and to see with their own eyes the farms where their food was raised.”
Our Commitment to Livestock
We raise every animal with respect, in ways that let them live naturally and stay healthy:
- 100% grass-fed and grass-finished, moved to fresh pasture daily using regenerative grazing methods inspired by mentors like Allan Savory and Joel Salatin.
- Raised on pasture with constant access to grass, insects, and fresh air year-round.
- Raised on pasture and in woodlands where they can root, wallow, sunbathe, and express their natural “piggishness.”
We work with a small, local abattoir only 15 minutes from our farm. Keeping processing close to home minimizes transport time and stress. Because our animals are handled by friendly people every day, they’re calm around humans—even in new situations.
Our goal is simple: raise animals in a way that’s better for them, better for the land, and better for the people who eat the food.
