Fabulous Local Farm
Our farm is season and weather-dependent and our livestock is on pasture 100% of the time. Nothing in nature produces 24/7/365 so we don't expect this unrealistic goal from our livestock, therefore we don't feed anything to our animals to make them more prolific. Both flock and bovine graze on native legume grasses and live outside unconfined under Florida's sunshine, every day. We are prolific in eggs Spring-Autumn, and raw milk is available almost year-round, but please contact us before visiting because we are often limited since we are a very small family farm.
We are certified Animal Welfare Approved (the most stringent 3rd party certification) and while we are not certified organic by a third party (by choice due to expense), we still meet the required USDA Certified Organic requirements. We also practice the Juliette de Bairacli Levy traditional husbandry methods of rearing livestock. We are grateful to Whole Foods which weekly donates to our farm organic legumes, nuts and seeds which the flock may free-choice from, and especially when the grasses are shorter either due to inclement rains or heat, we supplement with certified organic nonGMO SoyFree CornFree raw feed. We also sprout thousands of pounds of Organic Black Oil Sunflower Seeds for the flock to free-choice on, and daily we open fresh coconuts for them which they enjoy to their heart's content!
Please call us before visiting so that you are not disappointed in case we do not have in-season what you're hoping to find. Please consider supporting Florida Farmers that practice sustainable pasture-raised agriculture, and please consider opting out of out of Confined Animal Feeding Operations as well as trucked-in farm foods and raw dairy from far-off sources outside of Florida. Please help keep farming, raw dairy and nutrient dense foods local and thriving. Thank you for your support!
