Our flock of sheep are raised on pasture year-round without exposure to pesticides, commercial fertilizers or growth hormones. Our feed is free of animal byproducts and our grass hay is locally grown. We purchase our cow milk from a local family cow dairy that shares our commitment to wholesome natural milk.
