About Us
We have a 20-acre farm a 20 minute drive west of Des Moines. We have been farming since 2007, starting off with pastured poultry (Chicken & Turkeys), and expanding into eggs and grass-fed beef over time. We do not use hormones or antibiotics on our farm and have always kept grass pastures at the center of our production model. We believe heathy grass stands, result in healthy animals, and ultimately a healthy consumer. To find our more about us, check out the links below.

Please see
Ryan's blog or Janice's blog for current news, or our website for more information.

Practices (our standards for raising or making our products)
Turkeys spend three-quarters of their life on pasture and are rotated to new fresh grass frequently. When first moved outside, they are raised in portable floorless shelters before graduating to fenced paddocks. Their feed is raised in Ankeny with no GMOs. No insecticides are applied to these crops and no hormones or antibiotics are in the feed.
Chickens spend at least half of their life on pasture (depending on weather) and are rotated to new fresh grass daily. They are raised in portable floorless shelters. Their feed is raised in Ankeny and is GMO free. No insecticides are applied to these crops and no hormones or antibiotics are in the feed.
Our beef is 100% grass-fed, and is from Belted Galloway cattle.
Using the IFC definitions as of late 2015: Our meat is Naturally grown self declared, GrassFed (Beef), and No Artificial Hormones or Antibiotics


Additional Information
We have our products processed in a state-inspected facility. They are not brined, injected, or post-processed. Poultry comes bagged like you would find in the grocery store.
