THE BASICS
We are a small family owned dairy farm in
Chatsworth Illinois. All our meat is raised here on pasture as the seasons allow. Our beef and dairy cows are
outside in the fresh air and sunshine the majority of their lives. During winter they are fed certified organic hay
and mineral supplements. Emphasis is on the hay. We do not use any antibiotics, hormones, or steroids. Our only
exception is if an animals life is at risk. We then use antibiotics as needed , but the animal will not be used
for meat or dairy per organic standards. Our dairy and beef production was certified organic in 2009. Our pork
production was Certified Organic in October 2010.
THE
SPECIFICS
All our beef is born and raised on our farm. We then take
it to either Chenoa Locker in Chenoa IL or Bittners Eureka Locker in Eureka IL (Bittners Eureka locker is the only
certified organic locker in Illinois.) |

our milk is produced on our farm by a variety of cross bred cows, who are 100% grass fed; no grain ever.
