Antaya Acres Heritage Farm operates a heritage farm and CSA program here in Silverwood, MI. We offer all natural grassfed meats, beyond organic garden shares, and fresh eggs from truly free ranged birds to our customers. We deliver our wares to Rochester, Oxford, Lake Orion, Farmington, Southfield, and surrounding areas.

Although we are not certified organic, no pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or chemical fertilizers of any kind are used on our produce. All of our animals are raised free of hormones or antibiotics. We raise Tamworth, Large Black Hogs, Spots and Gloucestershire Old Spots on pasture. Our pigs glean over 80% of their nutrition off of grass and are only supplemented with 2 pounds of 15% hog feed per day during the months when the pasture is readily available. In addition to the grass, our pigs also enjoy a heavy diet of all natural foodstuff generously donated by our friends and neighbors here in the community. A bounty of apples, walnuts, pumpkins, pears and pulp are supplied by a network of supporters to help us provide our hogs with a diverse and healthy ration. This in helps us provide our customers with a final product that would be hard o find anywhere else.

The pork from these heritage breeds, raised with love in this natural stress-free environment is not easily replicated. Each of the breeds we raise bring different qualities to the pork they produce. It is truly a culinary adventure! In addition to these majestic endangered hogs, we also raise Icelandic sheep, Icelandic chickens, Muscovy ducks, and Heritage turkeys. Our farm continues to be a work in progress, but we are so thankful to be able to share the rewards with a warm and welcoming community of people who believe, as we do, that there is a way to raise livestock that benefits us all.

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.

Berry's Naturally is located on a quaint 40 acres in Reading MI, near the Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan boarders. 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.

The health of our lamb and beef is maintained with organically approved vitamins and minerals. The sheep are "hair" sheep, meaning no lanolin oils influence the texture and taste of the meat, as in your typical commercial wool lamb. The Murray Grey beef have been proven to excel in tenderness and tastiness because of their calm disposition and efficiency in converting grass into meat.

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 chicken is frozen and stored in our licensed facility – priced at $3.00 per pound. The beef and lamb is sold by the live weight. The beef $1.80 per pound – Lamb $2.25 per pound. You pay us for the live animal and we deliver the live animal to the local processor in your name. You then pay them for the processing fee.

Thank you! Please give us a call, we'd love to talk to you.

BF&E Organics—See Boughan Farms & Enterprise below.

Bluebird Meadows Farm is dedicated to raising grass-fed sheep and lamb.

We have a flock of 100+ ewes, and they live on lush, green pastures throughout the entire growing season and on into December. During the winter we feed them high quality hay raised and baled by us on our farm. They have most of their lambs on pasture in May, the very best time for a lamb to be born, and the lambs stay with the mother rotating to a new pasture every 1 to 5 days until fall. By keeping them on pasture with their mothers, we produce a very mild flavored, young, tender, lean lamb.

We have the lambs butchered and processed by a local, family-owned processing plant, and it is USDA-certified to be sold either by the package frozen or by the whole or half lamb. If you purchase a whole or half lamb, it can be custom processed and cut to your specifications. We can ship frozen lamb, or you may also pick it up at our farm. We also attend the Hillsdale County Farmers Market, Saturdays, 8am–noon, mid-May through October.

There is an old farmhouse on the farm, which we run as a bed and breakfast (see bbonline.com/mi/bluebird),. This offers a unique opportunity to experience the farm life. Some families like to come and spend the weekend on the farm and pick up their meat at that time.

Laura’s Little Beef Farm LLC is a family run operation at our home. My wife and I began this quest early in 2005. 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 along with steer so we could provide meat this year (2006). 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.

Middlebrook Farm, located east of Chicago, in Harbor County Michigan, was established in 1844. We purchased the 22-acre property in 2005. In December 2007, we left the city to live on the farm full time. Our mission has been to return the land to the biodiversity of the past, and to raise happy, healthy animals using the pasture rotation method. With pregnant cows, a bull, steers, one llama, numerous cats and two bee hives, our lives are full.

We raise Lowline Angus for beef and breeding stock. We believe animals should be raised entirely on their natural diet. Our cattle graze pastures of grasses, clover and alfalfa. In winter, they eat lots of hay!. We use no chemicals on pasture, and our animals receive no added hormones or antibiotics.

Studies show that 100% grass-fed beef are lower in total fat and cholesterol. It is higher in omega-3s, CLA, vitamin E and beta-carotene. Good things come from pasture salad mix!

Our beef is USDA inspected, processed and frozen in individual packages. It is priced per pound. We sell direct to you from our farm store. Honey and eggs are also available.

We are happy to e-mail a price list. Call to pick up beef or to visit the farm. We deliver in the Chicago area. We'd like to introduce you to our "happy" cows!

M'Organic Meadows Meats & Poultry is a small family farm dedicated to the all natural production of the healthiest, most succulent meats and poultry nature allows. 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.
Essentially, we are your own private farmers.

Our chicken, turkey and pork is also available for public sale.

We have several delivery locations and can take on two more for 2013, so if there isn't one in your area, call Stephanie to discuss. Our FSP runs from July 2013 until March 2014. Sign Up is March 1, 2013 until April 30, 2013.

Go to our website for more details and to sign up! Shares are limited! First Come First Served!

Providence Farm is an 82-acre family-owned, USDA Organically Certified farm in NE Indiana (a short drive from the Michigan state line) that produces small quantities of superior quality all-natural pastured meat (beef and chicken).

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. We generally have a supply of ground "All Cut Burger" year-round. Our meats are delicious, tender, flavorful, loaded with the CLA that comes from fresh green grasses and legumes, and (bonus!) good for you!

Sand Lily Farms is a 15 acre grass farm in South West Michigan near Lake Michigan. We finish Stocker Cattle on a diet of pasture/grass and a small amount of sweet feed used to help us move the cattle. We get the animals in the early spring and they are ready for pick up usually in September or October in Holland MI. The beef is dry aged and cut to your specifications. We sell a mixed quarter so you can get some of all your favorite cuts.

The sweet feed is a grain-based product that is fed periodically to help us move the cows from one area to another. (We have sandy soils and the rotational periods must be longer.) It is necessary to cross a road to utilize all of our pasture and the sweet feed is used as bait to persuade the cows to cross the road. We do not use growth hormones or antibiotics.

We take a deposit for each quarter of beef of $125. Current price is $3.50/lb. hanging weight.

Windswept Farm Katahdin Sheep. Our grassfed lambs spend their lives grazing clean, chemical-free pasture. They receive no grain, no growth hormones and no antibiotics. Of course, winter in Michigan means snow-covered pastures, so the ewes get alfalfa hay. Lambs are born in early spring and become interested in feed other than mother's milk just in time for the spring pasture. They spend the warm summer months grazing and are finished by fall.

The meat from our Katahdin lambs is incredibly mild, lean and tender. Dressed weights run between 48 and 65 pounds. Meat is cut and wrapped to your specifications. Local delivery (within 50 miles) can be arranged. For smaller amounts, or for specific cuts, please contact us. Visitors are welcome.
