Contact them directly for additional information or to buy their products: Blue Mountain Farm raises pastured poultry, eggs from pastured chicken, and pork. Products available include whole and half chickens and turkeys, boneless/skinless breast meat, legs and thighs, livers, and feet. ("About the feet—It's a long story, ask us.") The Elliots will be the first to tell you that "there are quicker, easier, and cheaper ways to raise poultry. But is it worth it? The bottom line for us is a healthy bird with plenty of down home flavor." Blue Mountain Farm, The Elliott Family, P.O. Box 76, Fox AR 72051. (870) 746-4704. Dixie Chickens. Well, I won't even attempt explaining the name, it just kind of stuck! Pastured Poultry is what we do: Raise chickens on pasture, lush with rye grass and legumes. In addition to the pasture (which supplies 30% of their diet), we feed a corn + soy based ration we have mixed to our specification. Chicken is available May through November and is packaged in heat shrink bags, hence storage life in the freezer is excellent. We offer whole, halves, skinless boneless breast, wings, leg-thigh quarters, and stock bones. Remember the "magic" is in the stock. We also deliver the birds to Mountain Home, Harrison, and Jasper. As most of you probably know, the health benefits from pasture raised meats are incredible. And the flavor and enjoyment is not far behind. Just one step closer to Nature and what God intended. Dixie Chickens, Rochelle Peterson, PO
Box 223, Pyatt AR 72672. French Prairie Farm lies in the rich meadows and bottomlands of the Petit Jean River, thirty miles south of Fort Smith, Arkansas. We are approximately nine miles east of Mansfield, not far off Highway 71. We are currently offering pastured chicken, pastured eggs, and pastured lamb. The lamb eat only grass, forage, and supplements such as kelp. Both the laying hens and the broilers (meat chickens) move often to fresh grass, and feed on a transitional-organic, GMO-free, soy-free feed. Our family seeks to return to the tradition of the small family farm, producing quality, nutrient-dense food in a manner that protects the welfare of the animals and enriches the soil. Although we are not certified organic, just like your grandparent's farm, our farm animals are not exposed to all the health dangers of modern agriculture practices. We use old-fashioned ingenuity to raise the animals in a relaxed, natural environment, but also take advantage of modern technology such as portable fencing and water systems to achieve better results.

Our grass-fed, grass-finished operation sells only beef born and raised on these acres in NW Arkansas. Our pure-bred Hereford cattle are grazed in pastures of mixed grass. The summer pastures are primarily Bermuda grass, White Clover, Red Clover and Lespedeza. Late winter and spring find the cattle feeding on Annual Rye Grass, Wheat and Fescue. Cattle being prepared for harvest in the winter time are supplemented with top quality alfalfa hay. We use managed intensive grazing and never graze forage older than second stage growth. Cattle drink clear fresh water from tanks in their pastures, not water from ponds they've been standing in. Our beef is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, beta carotene, vitamin E and CLA. They are raised free of stress. No grains, hormones, or antibiotics are used in producing this meat for you. Our farming methods are environmentally friendly. No pesticides are used on our pastures. Meat is USDA certified, vacuum sealed and flash frozen. The great flavor is rich and robust. We invite you to visit our website to check out our offerings.

We sell by the ¼, ½ or whole in bulk – charged by the head, or by the piece – charged by the pound. Delivery is available, especially on larger orders. Depending on the order size, I am willing to drive up to 100 miles personally to deliver the meat, for an extra fee. Call for details We thank you in advance for helping to support our family farm.

E-mail: webmail@ozarkpasturebeef.com Website:http://www.ozarkpasturebeef.com Peace Valley Poultry raises field-grazed chicken, turkey and beef. In 1996 our family began growing wholesome range-raised poultry. We are still a small family farm committed to providing high-quality, healthy meat in a manner that respects God's creation. Our chickens are treated carefully and naturally from day one. The ration we feed them is one we mix from whole grains, vitamins and minerals, and does NOT contain Genetically Modified ingredients or any medications. The pasture they are raised on is pesticide-free/herbicide-free and is managed holistically with rotationally grazed cattle, although it is not certified organic. The chickens range freely from the hoop house shelters that we pasture them from. These shelters are moved to fresh grass daily to insure healthy birds and pastures. At processing time we continue our practice of careful handling to provide high-quality fresh chicken. The end result is a truly tasty bird; "Like chicken used to taste," as many of our customers say. The chicken is sold either whole, split (in half), cut-up, or in packages of individual parts. In November we sell turkeys that are raised the same way the chickens are. We have heard many reports from satisfied customers who don't want anything but field-grazed turkeys now that they have tried one. The flavor difference is clear. Fresh turkeys are available on the farm and at delivery locations before Thanksgiving. Our farm is located about 25 miles north of the Missouri/Arkansas border. We sell our poultry from our farm and also in Springfield, Missouri and Rolla, Missouri; as well as several other areas in southeast Missouri. Our grass-finished beef is grown in the same manner as our other meat, carefully and conscientiously. At this time we are offering half or whole beeves, not individual cuts. Feel free to visit our website to see photos and learn more about our farm. Peace Valley Poultry, Jim and Judy Jo Protiva, 8290

Down a winding road that snakes its way between hills and valleys in the Ozark Mountains you’ll find a place where the buffalo roam. The picture of this place, simply majestic and yet majestically simple, might be pulled from the worn pages of a wild west book tucked away on grandma and grandpa’s bookshelf. Ratchford Farms aims to provide a taste of nostalgia to its customers by offering the experience of days past. We encourage you to go wild! Our products are shipped directly to you from our farm in Marshall, Arkansas where the buffalo graze on grass, drink spring-fed water and receive no steroids, hormones or chemicals. Buffalo meats are great gift ideas for clients, military personnel, health-conscious friends and family, or for the person who (seemingly) has everything. Visit our website to order snack sticks, jerky, burgers, roasts, hotdogs, steaks and many other cuts of meat as described on our site.

Waterfall Hollow Farm is a woman-owned producer of organically-managed pasture-raised and pasture-finished beef. Our beef steers are allowed to grow on pasture a full year longer than most producers’ calves, which yields a much more tender and sweet-flavored beef. Waterfall Naturals™ Pasture-Finished Beef is an Arkansas product. Our USDA-inspected processor selects only the most tender cuts for our steaks and roasts; the beef is packed in clear heavy poly with our custom USDA-approved label, then is vacuum-sealed so the contents can be seen at a glance and the bags cut open with scissors. All beef is dry-aged and expertly hand-cut, and the hand-packaged beef is frozen immediately to ensure the highest quality. Each package contains 100% beef. We accept money orders or personal checks, and ship next-day throughout the continental US via FedEx, UPS, or DHL. Our products may be found in the freezer section of Ozark Natural Foods and at Old Soul Organics and More, both in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Waterfall Hollow Farm, Lisa Cone & David
