Whether you're looking for wholesome food to serve your family or a dose of old-fashioned inspiration from our farm, we are happy to serve you. Browse through our Products for Sale Practices (our standards for raising or making our products) CHICKEN Our chickens are chickens. We let them be chickens. They have access to sunshine, fresh air, clean water, bugs, grasshoppers, and grass. Lots of grass. They eat NON-GMO feed from a local farm and are moved daily to fresh grass. You might notice that the chicken you buy from us looks a a lot different than your normal grocery store or Whole Foods meat. That's because all the nutrients our chicken's receive from the grass increases their beta carotene (vitamin A) and leads to fat that is more yellow than white. What does that mean for you? Richer flavor and a more nutrient dense meat for your family. PORK Our pigs are pigs. We let them be pigs. They live outside and have access to sunshine, clean water, and all the mud in which to root and roll. They eat dirt, roots, bugs, grubs, and grass. Lots of grass. Don't tell the pork industry but pigs are omnivores and we like to honor that. Our pigs are supplemented with NON-GMO feed and Organic barley fodder (hydroponically grown, if you're technical). All these nutrients, vitamins, enzymes, and minerals lead to a healthy pig and more flavorful pork. We may be biased, but the Berkshire breed is the best tasting pork around and you need to give it a try! ****Organic Hydroponic Barley Fodder (PIG FEED) Why Barley Fodder? Barley fodder is considered a "living feed". Compared to conventional dry grain feed, fodder is considerably more nutritious and digestible. By sprouting the barley seeds we are able to unlock the nutrients of the seed that are traditionally locked up anti-nutrient compounds called phytates. This is why sprouted or fermented bread is so much better for you, fermenting and sprouting "unlocks" the nutrients and makes them available for digestion. Sprouts are around 90% digestible compared to grains which are around 40% digestible. The increased uptake of nutrients, vitamins, enzymes, and minerals leads to a much healthier pig and flavorful pork. Additional Information Around here, we're all about restoration. Restoring our land. Restoring agriculture. And restoring a simpler way of life. We believe in the beauty of connecting with the food that nourishes us and find great joy in inspiring others to do the same. Highlights this Month Hello Iowa Food Coop!

"The idea that we could take beautiful food off the land and heal it at the same time is a very hopeful lesson. It is bigger than food or farming. It suggest that as long as the sun shines, there is a free lunch. You can capture that energy and run it through a system and not diminish the world. -Michael Pollen |
