- Land and soil health are given priority consideration. This includes working with the natural ecology of the farm property including the geography, climate, soil, and water.
- Animals are raised outdoors on pasture and forage in contact with soil, fresh air, and fresh water and eat a species appropriate diet.
- We hope that by connecting farmers and consumers, we are able to help foster financial sustainability for farmers and create health and wealth – not just in soil – but in communities.
- Land is not treated with herbicides or pesticides or synthetic fertilizers.
- Animals are not given routine antibiotics or hormones; any animal that is administered antibiotics for the treatment of a life-threatening illness will not be sold at market for a minimum of three months following treatment.
- Farmers are not exposed to chemical prophylactics and the end product does not contain herbicide, pesticide, or antibiotic residues.
- Regenerative practices build soil health, helping to sequester carbon, mitigate topsoil erosion, increase biomass, and increase water absorption.
- Animals receive humane treatment from birth to harvest. This excludes the use of farrowing crates, battery cages, feedlots and concentrated animal feed operations, veal crates, and other means of long-term restriction of movement.
- Your purchasing power means that farmers and ranchers can build financially sustainable models around direct to consumer supported agriculture.
- Land is managed so that the native wildlife can coexist with the stock on the farm and migrational throughways and corridors remain passable.
- Animals are raised and handled in low stress environments that allow for the natural expression of behaviors and characteristics of the species and breed.
- All of these factors allow consumers to access a product as close to its natural state as possible, enhancing their own health through foods raised as close to their natural state as possible.
