FAQs

What is your method of farming?

We are a pasture based farm that follows the practices of regenerative farming and sustainable agricultural. A big part of this involves migrating our herds. The herds freely graze rotationally, meaning they are moved to lush new pastures on a regular schedule to allow the previously grazed fields to rest and regrow. This is how migratory herds exist in the wild. Through these practices we strive to heal and nourish human health and our land.

What Breed of Cattle do you have?

All of our beef is black Angus.

What Breed of Sheep do you have?

Our sheep are a dorper Katahdin cross.

Is the beef and Lamb grass fed?

All of our animals are grass fed & grass finished. What does this mean? This means that our animals are on pasture their entire lives. The majority of lamb and beef that you find elsewhere is raised and finished on grain because it’s fast and cheap. However, cattle and sheep are ruminants and are designed to eat nothing more than grass. When we feed ruminants grain, they get fat and are more likely to get sick. Animals that are grass fed and finished contain a higher amount of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, have a more favorable fatty acid profile, are lower in saturated fat compared to grain-fed beef and lamb, and are associated with improved animal welfare due to a more natural grazing lifestyle.

Are all animals born and raised on the farm?

Our sheep are born and raised here at herd heritage. Our cattle are born at a neighboring farm who shares our strict practices and care for their animals. Once they are old enough to move over to our farm, they spend the rest of their time here on our pastures.

Do you process your meat yourself?

No- we have selected 2 local USDA approved processors to partner with, where the beef and lamb are both processed and packaged.

Can I order in bulk?

Yes, you can still pre order by hang weight. Navigate through our store and select the pre order hang weight option. You will be asked to put a deposit down at the time of order and the remainder will be due at pick up.

Do you ship?

Right now we are working on local pick up only, however, this is in the works and something we would like to offer in the future.
