Product Types: Eggs, poultry, fruits, vegetables, grass-fed beef, honey About Us We are a small farm located just southeast of the Des Moines Metro in northern Warren County. We moved to our first farm about 20 years ago and to our present location in 2003. We have been building infrastructure, participating in local farmer markets, expanding our garden area, planting fruit trees, raspberries and blackberries. A few years ago, at the urging of one of our egg customers, we acquired an egg handlers license and began selling our eggs to natural food markets and grocery stores in the area. Our name Novae Vitae Farm means the farm of new life. We are committed to natural, sustainable, yet practical agriculture. We strive for wholesome quality and goodness in all our products. Our laying flock are cage-free. They are housed in a controlled environment and allowed able to forage outside during the day, weather permitting. We have had numerous customers tell us our eggs just taste better. We have a herd of Dexter cows which we sell to others looking to start their own herd and allows us to offer high quality grass-fed beef. We raise Saanen dairy goats for milking and making products such as cheese, yogurt, buttermilk for our own consumption. Additionally we keep a few colonies of bees which provide honey and pollination. We are continuing to expand our orchard of apple, cherry, peach, and pear trees. Currently we are working on a vineyard. The past few years we have been experimenting with raising greens and tomatoes in a small greenhouse. Thank you for your patronage and please look for more of our products as our dream continues to become a reality and we are able to bring more to you in the future. Browse through our Products for Sale Practices (our standards for raising or making our products) We are committed to natural, sustainable, but practical agriculture. We strive to serve as stewards of the land. We compost and use manure to fertilize our gardens, fruit crops, pastures, and hay ground. We do strategically make use of other soil amendments as necessary. Maintaining the health of animals is vital. That, of course that begins with diet which includes vitamin and mineral supplementation. We do not use hormones or use antibiotics as a matter of course. Highlights this Month The COVID crisis has caused major disruption in the large meat processing facilities. This, in turn, has affected the schedules at local lockers increasing lead times to months instead of weeks. Consequently, our supply of grass-fed beef will be limited. Thank you for your support and patience. View answers to original producer questionnaire
