Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do you vaccinate your animals? 

A: We believe in humanely treating our animals and do vaccinate our breeding cattle and young calves to prevent the most common communicable diseases found in the Ohio Valley that can be life-threatening, including tetanus, black leg, and lepto. Our pork are only given dewormer. We do not vaccinate our chickens. None of our feed contains artificial growth hormones or antibiotics. We do treat our animals, if needed, with antibiotics, which is extremely rare. We abide by all safety measures, including all withdrawal times and keep meticulous records to ensure the safety of all of our products. We have had some recent questions regarding if the vaccines we use in our cattle contain mRNA technology, and they do not. There are no current USDA licensed and approved vaccines for animals that contain mRNA technology. 

Q: Can I order meat in bulk? 

A: Yes, absolutely! Purchasing in bulk is the most cost-effective way to secure a variety of cuts while having access to locally-raised, quality meat without having to run to the grocery store. We offer our beef and pork in large bulk quantities. Our beef is available for purchase as a quarter, half, or whole. Pork is available as a half, or whole. You can customize your meat cuts to your preference. Or, if you're not sure what cuts of meat your family will enjoy, we recommend purchasing a packed bulk order, which is a large bulk order of beef or pork cut by the HLC standard that we keep in stock.  We do keep a wide variety of cuts available for individual purchase here at the farm so you can try them out before committing to a large purchase. Send us a message for more details about what bulk meat purchasing option may best meet your family's needs.

Q: How do you manage to run a full-time farm operation on top of your other obligations? 
A:  Great question and one we get often! As busy parents, business owners, and off-the-farm employees, we have worked to make our farm as efficient and self-sustainable as possible. However, if we have learned anything, farming is far from predictable and can lead to long hours. The great news is our little ones love the farm and all the animals and equipment that come with it, making farming a family affair. We also live in a great community surrounded by fellow farmers and family members who are always willing to lend a helping hand.
