Our Babes are Back on Grass

Thanks to a warm and wet Spring, our animals are back to rotational grazing on our delicious dark green pastures of orchard grass, clover, dandelion, blue grass, thistle, and other nutritious grasses, legumes, and herbs.

Each day we move the portable fence a few more yards and the cows and lambs jump out the gate to their fresh new salad bar.

This is the time of year that produces meats rich in nutrients and dark yellow dairy and high in omega-3 fatty acids.

Our high-altitude grazing has some of the most premium pastures in the country which grow some of the healthiest animals.

I want to remind you that even our pigs are rotationally grazed on pasture from Spring thru Fall eating nothing but grass, grubs and roots. They will be supplemented a soy-free feed next Winter, but for now it’s pasture.

This week we have been weening the calves and lambs from their mom’s, weighing, and separating the herds. The babies are ready for grass grazing and growing up.

This time of year is so full of life and abundance which gives us hope that we will be able to feed us and ya’ll well this year with our pastured meats and cheeses.

Thank you all for your loyal support as we continue to connect food and health.

What's So Great About Grass?

Mama cows with their babies often live in grass environments but many of them are fed supplemental grain. And, most beef landing on dinner plates comes from cattle kept in huge confinement systems and fed only grain while they live in dust and dirt. The catch words that define beef from Simply Grassfed are “grass finished”.

Preparing for Winter

John and crew have been scrambling to get the barn renovations completed, shoring up the posts and beams, pouring new footers and concrete slabs, and replacing the 100-year-old siding and gates. Fencing and watering system repairs are getting attention.

Alvin's A2 Jersey Milk Cows

John and Alvin Fisher grew up milking and caring for the cows on their father’s farm in the 1980’s. Currently, Alvin operates the farm with forty-eight A2 Jersey cows that are rotationally grazed on chemical-free pastures and milked twice daily.
