We currently manage approximately 100 acres of irrigated pasture and pinion/juniper forest. Cameron Duhaime operates a small Raw Milk Herdshare. His cows are predominantly grass-fed but may receive up to 2 pounds per day of certified non-GMO grain during milking. He also raises heritage breed hogs which are rotationally grazed on pasture and then finished under oak brush, juniper, and pine trees. His Forest-Finished Pork is only given certified non-GMO feed, leftover milk and whey from the herdshare, and extensive access to natural forages. Rachel Huber raises her pastured flock of laying hens in an old horse trailer-turned-Eggmobile, giving her ladies only non-GMO feed. Kami Parrish-Larson and Karel Longan of Greens'n'Things at Heartwood Farms provide veggies, transplants, flowers, and herbs locally to natural food stores, restaurants, and farmer's markets. Our focus at Heartwood Farms is holistic land management and regenerative, beyond organic agriculture. We use no chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, hormones, or antibiotics. We make loads of compost and manage our animals' manure to be an asset rather than a liability. Our animals are only fed certified non-GMO feed and are grazed using intensive planned grazing and multispeciation. Our dairy cows and beginning beef cows are moved everyday to simulate natural herd behavior and maintain herd health. The pigs are moved out on pasture every 3-5 days with an old trampoline for portable shade. When they reach 150lbs, we move them up into the forest where they are hard at work incorporating leaf litter and fertilizing the forest floor, with the long-term plan of reversing the desertification processes underway in our high altitude, arid climate. Our chickens follow our cows and pigs to sanitize the pastures, spread manure, and further fertilize. We grow our gardens with practices influenced by Eliot Coleman and Biodynamics. Through our management practices we hope to sequester carbon by building topsoil, allowing it to retain more from our infrequent precipitations, and reverse our desertifying landscape. To sign up for a Raw Milk Herdshare, give us a call, send an email, or visit our website. Pork can be ordered through our website or over the phone. We can ship pork as well, please call for more information. Greens'n'Things garden products and Rachel's Pastured Eggs will be available to herdshare and pork customers and for sale at various farmer's markets and retail outlets in the Durango area. Please call or email for more information on the availability of these products. Heartwood Farms, Cameron Duhaime, 800 Heartwood Lane, Bayfield CO 81122. (970) 759-9693.

By feeding high quality irrigated grasses, forbes, and brassicas we are able to achieve generously marbled beef. We view our business as a worthy and rewarding collaboration with the communities of soil, animals, and people. Many of our customers consider themselves vegetarians who break their fast only for righteous meat. We take great pride in raising what they call “meat vegetarians can eat.” We strive to honor the animals at every stage - from what they eat to the way in which they are slaughtered.

Ojos NM 87551. (505) 588-7424. spahn & friends Bison Ranch LLC, sells grass-fed, all-natural buffalo meat. We have raised bison since 1998 on Trinchera Pass, NM. We handle them as little as possible, and guarantee they are not subject to questionable drugs, chemicals or hormones. For numerous customers with various diseases bison is the only choice for (red) meat. Bison meat is heart-healthy and recommended to patients (see “The Dakota Diet” written by Dr. K. Weiland, and the American Heart Association). It’s the best diet for athletes (high in protein), women (lots of iron), kids and seniors (essential fatty acids, low fat). Bison meat tastes great. Bison is naturally juicy and tender and can be interchanged with beef in almost any recipe. A lower temperature should be used as bison is very lean and will cook more quickly. It has nutritional advantages over other meats—you get more protein with fewer calories and less fat. There is less shrinking in your pan because of no marbling fat. We process our bison at a USDA inspected facility. After 10-14 days hanging the carcass is cut in custom packages and frozen. We sell the meat mostly by the pound, but also sell quarters, halves and whole carcasses. Customers can pick up their meat at the ranch or get free delivery to Trinidad and Raton. We ship interstate for an additional fee. In July/August we sell at the Farmers' Market in Trinidad, CO. We always hand out cooking tips and recipes to our customers. For any questions you’re welcome to call (575) 278-2316. spahn & friends Bison Ranch LLC, Christian and
