American Heritage Farm, LLC, Christine and Dale McGoron, 3391 W Colby Road, Perry MI 48872. (517) 214-7848 Beery Farms of Michigan LLC is an 80-acre farm on which I raise all-grass-fed beef and goats. The farm is operated in the Argentine grazing style using a diverse array of perennial grasses and summer-winter annuals to meet the year-round forage needs of the animals. Like the Argentines, the paddocks are divided to provide both annual and perennial forages simultaneously for an always fresh high quality diet. By using stockpiling in the fall and early greening small grains in the spring, it is only necessary to feed hay and haylage during the most severe winter months. The farm is in the third year transition to Organic Certification. It is located just south of Lansing and visitors are always welcome. Beery Farms, Growers and Purveyors on Only Things Grass Fed.

We strive to maintain our small, cozy farm as nature intended, by raising and finishing our lamb, and beef on 100% natural grass pasture, thereby keeping the healthy Omega 3 fats intact.

Our chickens are raised on NON-GMO grains and rotated to fresh pasture daily. We are richly blessed living the rewarding life of raising livestock on our land and we hope you too can appreciate, respect, enjoy and savor the end results of our naturally grown meats.

The meat, fat, and marbling of jerseys that eat clover pasture or high-moisture clover hay has a special sweet flavor. The fat is yellow because of the high beta carotene. Our steers are fully 2 years old before slaughter for full flavor. Jersey and Clover, the winning combination!

WHY "HONEYBIRD FARM": We named our farm after a beautiful mutualistic relationship that has existed between honeybirds and humans for thousands of years. The birds love to eat the wax combs inside these bee hives, but they can’t crack the hives open by themselves. So they enlist the help of humans – the honey guide will give its signature chirp to get a human’s attention and then lead the human to the hive. Upon finding the hive, the human will crack it open to get the honey and leave the wax, and both parties benefit. Honeybird Farm,

As well, we want to be good stewards of the land and use it in a sustainable manner. JNelson Farms is owned and operated by Jon and Tammy Nelson and is located about 8 miles northwest of Midland, Michigan on Stark Road. We have 260 acres of pasture land to support our herd of grazing cattle. Our cattle enjoy the pasture all year long. In the summer, forage is harvested from additional land for the cattle to eat in the seasons when pasture growth isn’t adequate to supply their nutritional needs. Just in case there are needed minerals or vitamins they are not receiving from the pasture, they also have these available as free choice supplements. We work very closely with Michigan State University to utilize the latest research around grazing and land management. In addition to the farm owned by Jon and Tammy, JNelson Farms also represents an informal cooperative community of producers throughout Michigan who have a common vision to use their resources and capabilities to provide healthy food for people who want it. The goal of the cooperative community is to coordinate the producing interests of our cooperators to develop a supply chain that can provide large enough numbers of animals to entertain the demand of larger organizations. Each producer follows the same production protocol as Jon and Tammy's home farm. Different roles that our cooperators play include: supply of yearling cattle, contract grazing, hay supply. JNelson Farms has high quality grassfed beef available year round. Please contact us if you would like some. We look forward to helping you and your family enjoy the benefits of grassfed beef.

Our first order of business is to raise meat in a manner that we would be proud to provide to friends and family. Preparing lush green pasture using recommended practices found in Jo Robinson’s book, Pasture Perfect and Allen Nation’s book, Quality Pasture really helped. We searched long and hard for feeder steer to start our herd. We invested in heifers and cows to start calving to build our herd. The steer we raise meet all of our requirements of no growth aids, steroids or antibiotics. They are raised on our beautiful green pasture which receives no chemical pesticides or fertilizer. When the pasture salad won’t support their needs we supply them with quality hay. All of our fencing is smooth, high tension wire so there are no barbs to stick the cattle, therefore reducing stress for our animals. Your meat is slaughtered and dry aged then wrapped, labeled and quick frozen in a family owned, USDA approved slaughterhouse/ butcher shop close to our home. We are located less than an hour from northeastern Detroit. You are welcome to visit our farm, just give a call and make sure we’re home. Don’t be alarmed if you pull up to our pastures and you find us singing and talking to our animals. We have found this to be very beneficial to a calm, healthy animal. We sell our meat by quarter, half, whole, or special steak/burger orders but we are not a supermarket or butcher shop. I would be happy to discuss your family's meat needs with you to see if we can help you fill them. We have customers that only want the steaks and burger from the whole animal but then want the rest donated to needy families, we do that. Laura's Little Beef Farm LLC, Edward and Vee Laura,

We strive to be more than organic.... we are M'Organic! We have a Farm Share Program.This works just like a CSA for meats, poultry and eggs. Share members purchase a share of the harvest for the year for their animals. Animals are then bred, purchased and/or reserved for their consumption. What does this mean? Our beeves, swine and lamb are reserved for Share Members in advance. Turkeys and chickens are bred for each member's consumption and some chickens are purchased as day-old chicks, only eating our food. Share members select which share best suits their monthly meat consumption needs. The monthly room and board fee is based on this share size and covers our 24/7 labor, fencing, shelters, hay,
feed, fuel, processing, smoking, curing and packaging of their meats and poultry and any other expenses incurred while raising your meat. You will receive a seasonal variety of Beef, Lamb, Pork, Turkey, Chicken and perhaps duck or rabbit. Holiday meats are also available. Our chicken, turkey and pork is also available for public sale.

Our farm has been chemical and pesticide-free for nearly 27 years. All of our meat animals are raised on organic pasture in the fresh air and sunlight. We raise 100% Angus beef cattle, individually selected for superior grass genetics to ensure the highest quality grass-fed beef. They fatten naturally (without grain) on the broad variety of fresh forages contained in our pastures. Our beeves receive no grain, growth hormones, steroids, antibiotics, wormers, animal by-products, growth promoters, or feed additives. We offer Redmond salt, sea kelp and natural source minerals on a free-feed basis. Our chickens are also pastured out in the fresh air with plenty of sunlight. Our chicks are started with organically certified grain. Their foraging diet consists of grasses, legumes, bugs and grain that contains no hormones, steroids, antibiotics, or animal by-products. Our farm is small enough that we are able to put a great deal of emphasis on the health of our land, our soils, our forages, and our animals—and that careful management undeniably converts to the health and goodness of our beef and chicken. We believe that it is our role to be good stewards in caring responsibly and respectfully for the land and the animals entrusted to us by God. We offer freezer beef in whole, half, and quarter portions in mid-September, and fresh whole jumbo roasters mid-summer and late-summer.

Experience the satisfaction of knowing your food and your farmer. We are your clean meat connection. “You are what you eat eats.” ~Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto. THE ANIMALS: Our Chickens and Pigs have constant access to fresh, clean, diverse pasture, water, and plenty of sunshine. They spend their day eating grasses, roots and small plants as well as pecking, rooting, and scratching for grubs, worms and bugs. To satisfy their protein requirements, we supplement their diet with locally milled, non-GMO grains. This simple idea is what we call “pasture raised.” Nutritionally, the Chicken, Pork and Eggs offer higher Omega 3 fatty acids, CLAs, Beta Carotene and Vitamin E, and far more Vitamin D than their commercially raised counterparts, providing you with the purest foods from healthy animals on healthy land. Our animals live a natural and happy life – FREE of vaccinations, chemical de-wormers, and growth hormones. Not certified organic... but Beyond Organic. Your food should be this good! THE FARM: Resonance Center Farm is family-owned, pasture-based, beyond organic, overlooking beautiful Mullet Lake in Pure Northern Michigan in Cheboygan County. Our philosophy is that happy animals doing what nature intended them to do (foraging, socializing, digging, scratching, catching bugs) provide healthier meat and eggs. We believe animals should live a natural life, be treated humanely and with respect. Ask about delivery options. Resonance Center Farm, 6773 North M-33, Cheboygan, MI 49721.
