Babb Creek Grassfed Red
Angus is your small family farm
close to Madison, Baraboo and Wisconsin Dells. We offer reasonably
priced beef, for local pickup, by the pound
hanging weight, in whole, halves, quarters, mixed quarters and
mixed eighths (about 65lbs.).
Our price (2009=$2.89/lb. hanging
weight, about $3.46/lb finished, including butchering) is about 50
cents above locally butchered holsteins (larger boned, feedlot
fed).
Meat is butchered locally, dry aged, cut to standard or your specifications,
double wrapped and flash frozen by a state inspected butcher. Pick up
is at his shop in North Freedom (8 miles west of Baraboo).
Our beautiful Red Angus cattle are born here
in the fall, nurse on their mommas thru the
winter as moms
are fed our own stored mixed grass/legume hay. We use fence
line weaning at
six months of age so they can still see and nose touch mom. They
are on smaller pastures
for winter feeding then turned out to green pastures by April and
rotationally grazed on 11–18 lush green pastures thru October. Free
choice kelp (mineral) and salt. Each pasture has fresh water
(they're not allowed in the creek).
Grassfed beef take longer to 'finish'
than corn-fed feedlot beef and are usually ready
by the end of their second season on pasture. They are
definitely worth the wait as their meat is higher in Omega 3's,
Vitamins A, D, E, B-12, folate and carotene and there is no
risk of Mad Cow Disease because they are fed no animal by-products.
Grassfed beef also have about 300 times less E.
coli bacteria, and because it is not acid resistant
due to corn feeding, it is destroyed more readily in our stomachs.
We use no pesticides, herbicides,
antibiotics, growth hormones or vaccines.

At Kummrow Farm's Battle Creek Beef &
Bison LLC, we breed and raise both American Bison and
Simmental Beef on our fifth generation farm located in Waukesha

grass based diet, are easy calving, are wonderful mothers and produce
lean, flavorful meat. All breeding, in both herds, takes place naturally,
in the pasture.
We have an on-farm store where we sell beef
and bison by the cut, any quantity desired, as well as an assortment
of 100% beef and 100% bison sausages. Our sausages are made

given only to save the life of an animal…a very rare occurrence.
The only grain our animals get is for training and baiting purposes.
Our meat is processed and frozen in a state
inspected plant after undergoing a period of aging for ultimate
flavor. Custom cutting is available when ordering a split side.

grass fed. We focus on natural pastures. Our animals are allowed
to graze in roomy pastures on chemical-free grass. We rely on
birds and beneficial insects for pest control. We do not give
our animals antibiotics or growth hormones assuring you clean,
healthful meat.
Grass-Fed bison meat tastes great! Most people interviewed feel
bison is the most flavorful meat they have ever tasted, with a
sweet and rich flavor. Bison is naturally flavorful and tender
and can be prepared much the same as beef without special handling.
All our animals are raised ethically
and are allowed to be the wild creatures they are. We humanely
harvest our buffalo by the field method. If you would like
details on our methods, do not hesitate to call.
Our meat is processed and packaged at Johnson's Sausage in Rio,

is very fresh.

Blackberry Ridge, LLC Eco-Farm & Ranch
is owned and operated by one small family. We started five years
ago to create a Bio-diverse, Biodynamic, Organic, Sustainable, and
Permiculture Eco-system—a self-contained farm where the animals
fertilize the land and the resulting living soil and grasslands
feed the animals.
We have introduced eight different animal species
to roam our land. Many are Heritage or endangered breeds. These
include: 100% GrassFed Galloway Cattle and Sheep (fiber,
meat, and milk); Free-Range, Pastured Hogs, Chickens,
and Turkeys; Horses; and Great Pyrenees guard Dogs.
As members of the Cherokee Tribe, we work in
Harmony with the wildlife in our woods to increase wild habitat
and bio-diversity. We have encouraged the re-growth of native vegetation,
and will add more diverse plants each year, creating a permiculture.
The animals have opportunity to eat the foods they would eat in
the wild, while finding the most pure, Certified Organic sources
for any feed we must give. We feed NO Grain to our Beef and Lamb!
NO ANTIBIOTICS, ANTIPARISITES, ADDED HORMONES,
PESTICIDES, HERBICIDES, or ARTIFICIAL FERTILIZERS
Optimum health is achieved by humane treatment
(we don’t ‘cut’ our animals), fresh grass, herbs,
sunshine and air, and a reliance on nature before we intervene.
We believe this creates optimum nourishment in the foods that we
nourish ourselves with and optimum life in the environment we live
in.
Galloway beef rated #1 in taste and #2 in tenderness
by UW tests. It is USDA processed and dry aged for 18 days by a
small family butcher, then cut and froze individually. Purchase
our meats at our farm, at Natural Food Stores in LaCrosse, WI and

Coulee View Family Farm is a small
family farm nestled in the steep terrain of the Coulee Region
of southwestern Wisconsin. Our farm is a family operation
where we all pitch in. Our
animals are either free ranged, day ranged or moved in portable
pens. We do not routinely use antibiotics, hormones or appetite
stimulants. We treat our animals respectfully and humanely.
Cornish Cross Broilers are fast
growing and processed between six and eight weeks. The fast growth
makes them ineligible for the Animal Welfare Approved program so
we will discontinue.
Medium-Growth Broilers are processed
between eight and ten weeks. They have large breast meat
and flavor slightly superior to Cornish.
Slow-Growth Broilers are processed
between ten and twelve weeks. They forage better, grow
slower and have a superior taste that our grandparents would
recognize as chicken.
Pastured Eggs are from pastured hens which results in a
healthier, better tasting egg.
Pastured Heritage Turkeys are available in November for
your Thanksgiving dinner.
Pastured Pork is available as whole, half or quarter hogs
and by the cut.
Limited Availability Meats: a limited supply
of duck, goose and lamb is available.
Potential Future Offering: include
Chevron (goat), Pheasant, and Guinea
Hen.
We have recently announced the Coulee View
Family Farm Meat CSA. Our CSA is available in full, half, or quarter
shares for 6 or 13 months duration, and can be joined at any time
of the year.

Crossroads Ranch in Fence,
Wisconsin, was established in 2003 as a family enterprise. We
are committed to producing the healthiest meat possible following
the American Grassfed Association standards. Our bison (American
buffalo) thrive on lush, green pasture, clear cold water and fresh
air and sunshine. They are rotationally grazed over the spring,
summer and fall and fed supplemental hay over the winter as needed.
They are never given any hormones, antibiotics, chemical wormers
or medications.
We are working toward Organic Certification
and Grassfed Certification in the near future, but feel the most
important thing for us to strive for is what we call Consumer
Certification. We invite anyone to visit our ranch to see the
low stress, loving, clean and healthy environment in which these
animals spend their lives.

Daisy’s Funny Farm is a family-run enterprise located in
the rolling hills of Green County (America’s Little Switzerland!).
We raise pastured broilers, grass-fed lamb, and free-range eggs from heritage-breed chickens.
Our layers have ample space
to forage and scratch within a large run that protects them from
predators, whether slinking or on the wing. We supplement
their natural diet with a non-medicated layer mix, and with selected
table scraps, yielding spectacular eggs with firm, orange yolks
and firm whites that whip into stiff peaks. Broilers are
kept in open-bottomed pens that are moved daily, thus providing
access to fresh grass and bugs; we provide free-choice grain and
fresh water.
Our sheep are raised exclusively on pasture,
and we practice rotational grazing to assure fresh forage, prevent
parasites, and to duplicate sheep’s natural behavior. They
received some grain around weaning time, but are otherwise exclusively
on grass.
We sell whole broilers, eggs by the dozen,
and lamb by the whole, by the half, or individual cuts. Visit
our website for more information.

fenced in large paddocks that are rotated regularly to satisfy their
grazing appetites. Birds are processed in a family-run, state inspected
plant.

or hormones in the great outdoors. Pigs are allowed to forage, root
and wallow the way they should. This pork is truly delicious meat.

Fountain Prairie Inn &
Farms is located in central Wisconsin, close to Madison and
Wisconsin Dells. We raise quality registered Highland beef

our steers are processed at the age of 14–36 months and the
meat is allowed to age for a minimum of 14 days.

Gifts From the Good Earth
is a MOSA-certified organic farm offering certified organic, pasture-raised
poultry and organically raised grassfed/grass-finished Belted Galloway
beef.
Our poultry is fed a certified organic
feed ration supplemented with pasture grasses. Our birds, averaging
5 pounds in weight, are processed at a USDA-inspected plant and
sold as frozen, whole birds. This allows us to have them available
for our customers year-round.
Our beef, which is processed June – November,
can be purchased as individual cuts year-round, or in quarter, half
or whole animal quantities when ordered in advance of our processing
dates.
Except for during the winter months, when our
beef herd is fed dry hay made on our farm, our animals are grazed
in an Intensive Rotational Grazing system. This ensures that they
eat primarily from lush, tender pastures, which are grown from soils
receiving only natural amendments such as compost, green manures
and minerals. Because of this, you will find our meats to be a more
pure, fresh and flavorful product.
Our farm, which is approximately 2 miles west
of Milladore, is centrally located between Marshfield, Stevens Point,
Wausau, and Wisconsin Rapids. We welcome farm visits if scheduled

Grass Point Farms is a group of farms
whose dairy philosophy centers on the well being of every cow on
all of our farms. All of our farmers have pledged to take every
measure to ensure that their herds are humanely treated at each
stage of their life and that they are allowed to thrive on their
natural diets of grass while enjoying their pasture life.
All of our farms and herds meet the third party
certified Grass Point Animal Compassionate and Grass Fed Program
Standards. These stringent standards, which are unique to Grass
Point Farms, require a nutritious pasture diet without antibiotics
or artificial hormones. The animals are raised humanely in conditions
that support natural animal behavior.
At Grass Point Farms we offer a very special
line of milk, cheese and butter products. It is this
diet that produces the purest, most wholesome milk possible. Studies
have shown that grass fed dairy products have increased levels
of CLA and Vitamin D (because the cows get outside), which helps
reduce body fat, increases metabolism, combats clogged arteries,
prevents or delays the onset of diabetes and fights certain cancers.

Grassroots Meat, located in River Falls,
WI, just minutes from the Twin Cities Metropolitan area, offers
100% grass-fed beef and pastured poultry.
Our herd
consists of Galloway cattle, a Scottish breed, ideal for pasture
grazing in the cold Wisconsin climate. Our
cattle receive plenty of fresh grass and water, in summer,
and in winter, quality hay that is raised and stored at our farm.
Galloway cattle are not bred to be “oversized;” therefore,
they produce flavorful meat which is healthy with less fat.
We
sell our beef in a variety of cuts and quantities in order to offer
our customers a wide selection. Our chickens are allowed
to forage on as much living grasses as they desire. Their
diet is supplemented with grains that are free of artificial hormones
and antibiotics. Our chickens are available in July and August,
but we will take pre-orders in February. They dress out at 3-7
pounds.
For information on ordering our 100% grass-fed
beef and chicken, please call us.

The Grassway Farm is a diversified certified
organic (MOSA) grass-based
dairy farm located between cold, clean Lake Michigan and picturesque
Lake Winnebago. In addition to milking 100 dairy cows, we direct
market bulk chicken, turkey, brown eggs, beef and pork.
All of our animals (beef, pork, chicken and turkey) are fed
certified organic feed.
The farm consists of over 200 acres of fresh green growing meadow
grasses. After each milking our herd of jerseys and Holstein cows
takes a leisurely stroll to a new paddock of fresh grass and spends
the day grazing, ruminating and resting. The cows receive only
2-3 pounds of oats or barley, kelp, naturally mined mineral
and sea salt per day to help them maintain body condition.
On our farm, everyone grazes, so the egg-laying free-range chickens
are allowed to dine on juicy bugs, tender grasses and a small amount
of grain. Our pastured meat birds live in moveable, open bottom
pens out on the same pasture. They are protected from predators,
but can still enjoy the sunshine, bugs and grass. The Jersey steers
graze with the dairy cows to get the very best pasture plus a small
amount of grain. Finally, our "pigerator" pork comes
from pigs that are allowed to do what they truly love to do: root
through and compost the winter bedded pack from the cows.
We would love to hear from you. May you be able to live close to
the land.

Graz-Orr Pasture-Raised

since raised more animals to provided our friends and neighbors
who do not live on a farm or raise livestock.
All our customers get personal attention and a 100% buy back guarantee
on their order.
All of our animals have access to pasture
so they can dig and forage for food, vitamins, and the minerals
they need. We are in the process of certifying our pastures and
lambs to be organic. We supplement with organic salt and minerals
and use state inspected processors to cut and wrap the final product.
We sell pasture-raised lamb by the half
or whole; lamb is seasonal from November - April. Our quality grass-fed
beef can be bought in 25-pound convenience packs,
1/4, 1/2 or whole beef from September - January. Some pasture-raised
pork is available in September and October.

please call and we will be happy to talk with you and send you
an order form.
Our on-farm stand
is open May - October, 9 am to 6 pm for garden produce, fall produce
and meat.

Harmony Valley Farm and Deer
Run Farm have
joined together to create a holistic farm system producing healthy,
pasture raised, certified organic Angus beef.
We raise animals
with excellent genetics in an environment focused on holistic herd

months and over-winter on a diet of alfalfa hay, flax and a small
amount of organic grain. Our beef ranges from 90-95% grass and
hay fed.
Grazier’s Organic Beef is more affordable
than most naturally raised, pastured, or certified organic beef.
Most purchase Grazier’s Organic Beef over and over again,
satisfied with the value, variety and quality. Ledebuhr Meat Processing,
a family operated, federally licensed and inspected plant in Winona,
MN processes the beef. They handle all our processing needs
in accordance with certified organic standards and it all carries
the USDA Organic seal.

Heritage Homestead Farm is
located 3 miles east of Eden, on Hwy 45. We are proud to
offer a mix of Murray Gray and Red Angus beef. All our calves
are born in Wisconsin
in early April-May and stay with their mother's until we buy them
in September/October.
It is very important to our family that our animals have access
to fresh air, sunshine and lush pasture. We do not use any antibiotics
or hormones. Our goal is to provide customers with healthy and
natural foods. We practice management intensive grazing for the
health of animals and the land. In supplement to the pasture, steers
are fed quality hay. All the hay is raised on
our farm; we do not out-source any feed.
Our beef is available in the
fall by split ¼ (split side), ½,
or whole. Our meat is processed and frozen in a state-inspected
local butcher shop after undergoing a period of aging for ultimate
flavor. Custom cutting is available when ordering.
You are welcome to visit our farm and see our natural practices first
hand.
Thank you very much for your interest and we
hope to hear from you.

Hickory Springs Farm is nestled in a
beautiful picturesque valley with springs flowing from the hillsides,
many coming together to help form Seymour creek. We have been MOSA
certified organic since 1999 for dairy, we started the beef
soon after. We also have brown eggs, and broilers.
We like to hatch our own chicks for our laying chickens so there
are occasionally some very tasty five month old roosters to cull.
Our beef is USDA inspected The closest butcher
is an hour and half drive, Lederburs in Winona, MN. the beef is
cryovac packaged. The organic pasture raised broilers are also USDA
inspected and cryovac packaged at Decorah, Iowa.
We practice rotational grazing, though not
intensive. We don't have to chase our animals—for the most
part they follow us everywhere they want us to put them. The animals
are beautiful to watch and it's so relaxing to take a walk around
the pastures to enjoy them. Even though initially they come running
and set up such a chorus of bawling that you can't hear, they calm
down to eating soon. We also have seasonally asparagus, rhubarb,
ramps (wild leeks), and watercress lot'sa springs. Come for a visit,
bring your tents, etc. and camp in our woods. Several weekends are
open. Gary and Darline & children.

Hidden-Vue Farm is a Certified
Organic 550
acre farm. The farm is managed by Jim and David Nortunen and is
located in Northern Wisconsin not far from the shores of Lake Superior.
We are MOSA and Food Alliance Midwest certified. Products with
this seal have been "raised sustainably and are locally grown,
antibiotic and hormone free, and land and water friendly."
We

highly fertile, efficient, and grows and finishes well on grass.
Our cowherd consists of 125 cows that are bred
to purebred Red Devon bulls. We will have roughly 90 MOSA Certified
Organic ½ Devon
calves to sell to a finisher in the fall of 2007. These calves
will be from Rotokawa 982, 861 and our three bulls that have frame

heifers for sale as well. In 2008 we will have purebred Devon heifers
and bulls for sale from Rotokawa genetics.
We do not currently sell our products
retail. We are a cow-calf
operation that is interested in selling our organic calves to select
finishers each year.
We are also in the process of becoming a purebred Devon
seedstock producer and will have purebred Devon heifers and
bulls for sale in 2008. We also have 1/2 Devon heifers for
sale in 2006 and 2007.

As registered nurses, we at Highland
Hearth Farm believe that healthful meat contributes to healthful
people. Our predominately Angus herd is entirely grassfed; kelp
and selenium salt are their free-choice mineral mix. Our animals
DO NOT have hormone implants, their forage is herbicide and pesticide
free and the meat is NOT irradiated by the state inspected processor
we utilize. All of our grassfed beef have been born and raised
on this farm.
Grassfed beef is available for reservation
anytime throughout the year; however, we limit processing to October/November,
after the animal has had the entire "green season" to
maximize its levels of omega 3s, conjugated linoleic acid, vitamin
A and E, and beta carotene. Grassfed beef quantities may be ordered
in quarter-size (90–125 pounds) and larger. It is cut and
packaged according to customer satisfaction and frozen and labeled
for convenience. Delivery is available within 60 miles for a nominal
fee.

The Homestead (a 125-year family farm)
is in the rolling hills of Grant County, Wisconsin. We converted
this dairy farm into a ranch to raise grass-fed beef. Our
cattle are born in late spring on the open range, raised by the
mother cow on chemical-free milk and grass and watered at a spring-fed
stream. Grass-fed beef is often called "beyond organic."
The average serving of beef has lived on four
farms, traveled through five states, and spent months confined in
feed lots eating things cows were not meant to eat. Our cattle spend
their entire lives on the range, eat lots of grass, have a cool
drink and lay in the shade to think about things. The result is
lean, clean, tender and reasonably priced meat.
Processed in the fall, seven miles from the
pasture at a state-inspected facility. Order a few packages of selected
cuts or quarters, halves or whole animals cut to order. Farm pick-up
preferred, but we'll deliver within reason. No need to pay Farmers'
Market premiums for healthy food. Give us a call. We'd love to meet
you and be your farmers.

JRS Country Acres is a small family owned
operation dedicated to protecting the planet with sound, sustainable
agricultural practices. Our farm philosophy is based on the old
time principals: fresh air, sunshine, pasture and love.
Everything we produce is raised organically
without the aid of genetically altered seed, synthetic chemicals
or antibiotics. As a result, our products are healthy lean and just
plain taste better.
All our poultry (laying hens,
fryers/broilers, and heritage turkeys) are pastured
raised supplemented with a minimum amount of organic grains. They
are naturally lean yet tender and tasty. Our eggs have a
brilliant orangish-yellow yolk that looks like sunshine.
Freed from antibiotics and close living conditions,
our pastured raised pigs thrive on fresh air, sunshine, vegetation
and whatever else pigs manage to root up.
We also raise produce, anything from
apples to zucchini. Composted manure and old fashioned hand weeding
make the best tasting produce.

JRS Country Acres, please call or email us for a brochure, price

Lambsquarters was born in a quiet way
several years ago with a shepherd's heart, a handful of ewes,
and a vision for providing a healthy, wholesome, and great-tasting
product to our local community here in central Wisconsin. We are
located 6 miles north of Athens on Highway 97, and everyone is
welcome to visit the farm and see how the animals are raised.
While
most of our lambs are home-born, occasionally we do buy
some feeders in the spring to better utilize our pastures. Our
lambs start out on their mother's milk and then are moved out
to pasture as soon as the spring grass starts growing. They
remain there until fall, then some are moved to another field
where they are finished on turnips and local hay. Only the lambs
finished without the turnips qualify for listing on Eatwild as
only the turnip greens are allowable. Our goal
is to raise the lambs 100% organic, but we are not certified organic.
The lambs are normally ready in November or
December, and we generally have lamb available through April of
the following year. Quantities are somewhat limited so order early.
We usually use a local processor, but can always take them to the
facility of your choice. We offer lamb as whole, half, or individual
cuts.
We look forward to hearing from you. Our
goal is to have 100% customer satisfaction! Here
is a testimonial from one of our local repeat customers: "Your
lamb is the best I've ever had: so tender and juicy, just right.
Next year I'm going to buy five from you!"—Victor,

LoveTree Farmstead Cheese produces of
some of the world's finest and most unique sheep cheese and
dry-aged "European" style grass-fed organic lamb.
LoveTree is organically farmed with 130 acres devoted to grazing
lands and 70 acres to wildlife habitat. This not only makes for
a healthy environment, ecologically speaking, but it also offers
us some unique opportunities for flavor enhancement of our cave-aged
cheeses and our lamb. Our goal is to bring you the flavor of the
northwoods through our raw milk cave-aged sheep cheese and our succulent
grass and milk-fed lambs.
We milk the sheep seasonally (April–September)
while the grass is green. We only make the raw milk cheeses from
the grass-fed milk. Our market lambs are weaned from their mothers
at approximately 45 days and are then reared on whey from the cheeseroom,
grass, and sometimes a minimal amount of corn if we have late pastures
or an early winter (no more than 1/2 pound of corn a day per lamb
when or if it is necessary to feed corn).
What We Grow: Raw milk cave-aged sheep
cheeses and raw milk cave-aged jersey cow milk cheeses (when milk
is available); European style lamb (live weight between 75–90
pounds) June–December; Hot House lambs (live weight 40–55
pounds) April–May; replacement stock for sheep dairies; and
livestock guardian dogs.
Where We Sell Our Products: St. Paul (MN) Farmers
Market, every Saturday April–December, 7 AM–1

Morning Star Farm has Grass-Fed Beef
available to you. We offer good meat raised and pastured in small,
closed herds. Grass-Fed Beef is rich in Omega-3 and has five times
the level of conjugated linoleic acid of grain-fed livestock.
Our animals are raised naturally, humanely,
without any chemicals, antibiotics, or hormones. They live in a
stress-free growing environment till they are at least 18 to 24
months old. Our beef comes from animals raised within our herd only,
and they are raised above the USDA organic standards. Our animals
graze on grass pastures spring, summer, and fall. In the winter
they munch on grass hay with shelter available.
Prices are reasonable—fair for the farmer
and for the consumer. The meat is state inspected and available
for you to pick up directly from the Richland Locker, in Richland
Center, WI. Or it can be delivered for a nominal fee.
Meat is available by the quarter, half or whole,
sold by the pound already processed. We also have hamburger by the
pound (minimum 10 pounds). All hamburger is lean and available now.
Please feel free to e-mail or call for pricing and availability.

Mountain Lane Farms, Wauzeka, WI, is
nestled in the hills of Crawford County. It is a place where time
stands eternal. Our Angus cattle graze 80 acres of rolling pasture
in the same way they did when my father purchased the farm back
in 1964. This provides our cattle with a simple diet of sunshine,
legumes, grasses and water. While a simple approach, we believe
this is best for the animal and ultimately in producing the best
beef.
As we are a minute operation, we currently do
not possess the means of rendering our product on site and shipping
it direct. Our philosophy is that when you buy from Mountain Lane
Farms, you choose the animal and witness firsthand where it was
raised. You have an opportunity to voice how you would like the
beef prepared, etc. If you wish, we can ship the animal to you.
We have tremendous rendering professionals who can customize your
order. If you wish we can even bring your order right to your door.
We value you not only as a customer, but a new friend before, during
and after the sale.
As a small operation, we don't have all the
amenities of other operations. What we have is a food source that
has been raised naturally by good folks who are concerned more about
you than your sale. Give us a call, get directions and come see
Mountain Lane Farms. The cattle will continue to graze, but friendships
are precious. Make friends at Mountain Lane Farms.

At Narrow Gate Farm we believe in raising
animals in a natural environment. All our animals are raised
on pasture with stored hay as winter feed. We work with mother
natures' rhythms to produce some of the finest quality beef,
chicken, turkey, pork and eggs on the market today.
Our grass-fed cattle graze
on lush green grass ensuring high omega-3s and a rich
vitamin content in our beef. Our chickens and turkeys forage
for bugs and seeds in the fresh air, giving their eggs orange
yokes rich in beta-carotene. We are currently working on
Door County apple finished pork.
When you purchase beef from Narrow
Gate Farm you can get just the cuts you want. We sell individual
cuts and packaged bundles by the pound. Cuts available are: T-Bone,

Nature’s Pasture is a small family
owned farm located in Auburndale, WI. We raise grass fed
Black Angus beef cattle, pastured
chicken, and turkey in a natural sustainable model.
We are dedicated to the humane treatment of our animals. Our
philosophy on the farm is to create an environmentally responsible
operation that produces the best products possible.
All of
our cattle, chicken, and turkeys are rotated on a daily basis in
order to give them fresh grass to eat and graze on. We pride
ourselves in giving our animals the freedom to roam and graze naturally,
just as nature intended. Nature’s Pasture does
not believe in using any growth hormones, steroids, or antibiotics
in any of our animals.
We offer grass fed Black Angus beef available
for purchase by the whole, half, quarter, or individual cuts
(burgers, ground steak, roasts, and filets). Pastured chicken
and turkey is available frozen whole, although turkey is available
only for Thanksgiving.
We
ship anywhere in the United States, but also have a pick-up option
available on the website for pick-up at the farm, or at an alternate
location in Frankfort, IL.

in the production of truly grassfed and grassfinished beef—as

and hope to soon offer pastured poultry, lamb, and pork.
Beef is available starting in late summer until
late fall and is sold in quarters, halves, and wholes. We guarantee
our products meet your satisfaction, or we'll buy them back and

At Ninepatch simple
pieces are carefully joined with a beautiful result. This family
farm is located 15 miles northwest of Wausau. No herbicides, pesticides,
hormones, antibiotics, or GMO seed are used in the production of

Poultry are pasture raised and are fe a grain
ration of mixed grains grown on our own farm. Chicken is offered
fresh every other Saturday at the local farmers market or at our
farm from June through October. Turkeys are available once a year
in early November. Orders for turkeys must be placed before May
31 and require a deposit. Contact us for order forms. Ungraded free-range

Nordic
Hills Farm is located in the beautiful Coulee Region of western
Wisconsin, 50 miles east of LaCrosse, 25 Miles south of Sparta and
Tomah and 25 miles west of Mauston. Our waters drain into the nearby
Kickapoo River. Our scenery is wonderful. Call for directions. Come
for a visit!
We believe in grass based farming because we think it is best for
the people who consume the animals and poultry which are grown on
grass, best for the animals themselves, and best for the environment.
In rumininating animals, health issues such as acidosis, liver abscesses,
mastitis and parasites are controlled naturally instead of with
antibiotics. The exercise of grazing, fresh air, sunshine and fresh
pastures are the core issues for good animal health. Rogue proteins
which cause mad cow disease are not found in grasses but in supplements
fed to animals in confinement settings. Sound genetic selection
enables birthing ease, healthy young animals and docility. (Our
sheep and cattle are glad to see us and come when called. Remember
the invitation to come for a visit so you can see this.)
Human beings are the beneficiaries. They eat meat and poultry from
healthy creatures. Grass fed meat is higher in conjugated linoleic
acids and omega 3 acids which are cancer fighters and weight controllers.
Further, there is less total fat and less saturated fat in grass
fed animal products.
The environment benefits. Sequestering of carbon in the soil occurs,
slowing global warming. Reduction of wind and water erosion occurs.
Organic matter increases and nitrate pollution reduces. Earthworm
populations become abundant and soil enzyme production increases.
We want to be good stewards of the land and of the animals on the
land, and that means grass farming.
We produce beef, lamb and broilers. Turkey
and pork raised by Amish friends are also available.

Pinnacle Pastures Farm has been in the
family for 60+ years. Cody oversees daily management of the farm
which is in organic transition. Animals never receive hormones
or sub-therapeutic levels of antibiotics.
Cody has planted clover
/ grass pastures as well as pastures especially
for hogs—allowing them to graze fresh greens and root
out turnips as nature intended. Hogs are bred and fed for exceptional
meat flavor and high nutrient density. Piglets are raised on pasture
during the summer and in deep straw bedded huts in our barn
during winter. Very little lard comes with our finished
hogs as they get lots of exercise!
Pinnacle Pastures also offers grass fed Angus cross beef and Katahdin
lamb. These lambs are milder in flavor than standard sheep breeds.
Heritage breeds of turkey, geese, ducks,
guineas, and chickens reside with the beef and hogs who offer protection from predators.
Great Pyrenees guardian dogs offer further protections.
It is a privilege to care for livestock
and nurture their instinctive behaviors. Calves, kids, lambs,
piglets, chicks, ducklings, and goslings are raised by their
mothers. Beef and hogs available
by whole, half, bundles, and smaller quantities. Nitrate-free
bacon is available. Visitors are always welcome.

At Rainbow
Homestead we practice sustainable and humane animal husbandry.
Beyond Organic, our holistic approach means farming within Nature's
patterns, with Nature's Rhythms. A place where wildlife flourish
alongside rare breeds of livestock, where heirloom gardens and orchards
nourish us even as hedgerows, woodlands, and prairies provide haven
for all manner of life. Our herbal meadows provide the ideal diet
for our livestock while providing nesting sites, beneficial habitat,
and sweet nectar for our honeybees. Intentionally "human scale,"
we choose to homestead and husband our land in a way that promotes
harmony and synergy.
Our organic, rotationally grazed pastures burst
with an edible riot of colors and flavors: sunny dandelions, sky
blue chicory, lacy yarrow, sweet scented clovers, and tangy sorrel
among the green grasses. Cold-hardy forages like turnips and canola
extend the forage feast into winter. Humane treatment is important
to us: our lambs keep their beautiful long tails they're born with!
Our lamb and beef are raised using
100 percent forages—NO GRAIN EVER! Our pastured poultry
and pork are raised on high quality pasture in addition to
certified organic grain.
100% GRASS FED LAMB and BEEF, PASTURED PORK
and POULTRY available. Customers may purchase at the farm, at the
Madison farmers market or mail-order from November to March. Local
Natural Foods stores also carry our meats.

At Snyder's Valley View Farm we raise
Belted Galloway beef and Katahdin sheep.
All of our animals are
raised on natural pasture during the growing season, and on hay
that we grow ourselves during the winter months. Our calves and
lambs are born on pasture in the spring and are raised on their
mother's milk until they are able to graze our pasture grasses,
legumes and forbs. We use no herbicides or pesticides on our pastures
or hayfields, and practice rotational grazing, which allows the
animals to utilize their natural instincts to migrate and look
for the best food supply.
Our animals receive no growth hormones, no antibiotics
in their feed, and a very minimal amount of grain which is used
only for training purposes.
Both Belted Galloway Cattle and Katahdin Sheep
are known for their ability to produce lean, tender, flavorful meat
when raised in a grass based farming system, producing meats that
not only taste very good, but are good for your health as well.
We sell freezer beef by the quarter and
half; it is available at various times throughout the year. Lamb
is sold by the half or whole from December through April. Our meats
are processed by a local state inspected, family run facility, and
can be cut and wrapped to your specifications.

Solar Harvest Farm
is a 60 acre family farm located 30 miles southwest of Milwaukee,
WI. We are proud to say that not only do we raise poultry, eggs,
beef and hogs on sunshine, but also use sunshine and
wind power to generate heat and electricity to power our farm.
Poultry is raised in portable floorless shelters
with daily moves onto fresh pasture. In addition to fresh forage,
our chickens are given access to all-natural grain mixture. Processing
is done on the farm by our family in what we believe to be the cleanest
poultry processing facility in the world! The fact that this facility
is powered by photovoltaics (solar panels) as well as recycling
water onto our produce garden only exacerbates this statement! Processing
days occur from late May through early October.
Our small beef herd is grass-fed only, and managed
using rotational grazing. We do not use rendered by-products, antibiotics,
or hormones on any of our animals. We recognize that the health
of the soil is indicative of the health of the plant, animal and
human being. We believe in promoting peace on earth through sustenance
in energy, agriculture and life.

Uplands Cheese, Inc.
produces and distributes Pleasant Ridge Reserve, a unique, traditional
style farmstead cheese.
Pleasant Ridge Reserve is an artisan
cheese made from the milk of a single herd of Wisconsin cows fed
and managed using natural "old world" practices. Our cows
graze lush pastures from early spring through fall and we produce
cheese only when the cows are fully on a forage ration of vegetative
pasture. Cows are supplemented with a ground grain mixture comprising
25% of their ration while on pasture.
Pleasant Ridge Reserve is the end product of
a process that is inextricably linked to the seasons and life cycles
of our animals, as well as to the prairie soils and climate of southwest
Wisconsin. The sweet flavors of the pasture grasses, herbs, wildflowers
and clovers is detectable in each morsel of our product. We hope
you will try Pleasant Ridge Reserve and agree with us that producing
food slowly, deliberately and with pride is a value worth preserving
in our hurried, industrialized society.

Van De Boom. We raise Murray Grey beef cattle, St. Croix sheep (lamb),

The Murray
Grey and St. Croix are breeds that have escaped genetic tampering
and have not been modified to a grain based diet. These breeds
are moderate framed, highly fertile, efficient and grows and

flavor and aroma. Our animals are humanely treated from birth

the health of the animals and of the land. Our livestock are
raised naturally on fresh pasture directly harvesting the sun's
energy to produce lean, healthy, flavorful meat. Every day of the
grazing season the animals get moved to a fresh paddock. Rotating
animals through different pastures more closely mimics natural
migration patterns. Our animals get all the fresh air and sunshine
they want. In the winter they eat quality hay from our fields.
Our animals only eat grass, minerals, salt and water.
Our beef is a available by
whole, half or split half (quarter). Our lamb is
available by whole only. Our meat chickens are
available by the pound. Are eggs are available
