Organic beef, lamb, poultry, maple syrup
The farm’s nucleus is grass-fed and finished beef cattle. Pastured laying hens were added to help control flies behind the grazing cattle herd in “egg mobiles”. Meat-bird poultry in Salatin-style pens was added when it was noticed the pronounced effect that laying hen manure had on the previously row-cropped, and very depleted soils. One winter, maple syrup seemed interesting to our eldest son and has now become an intense part of the winter months’ activities (and a very delicious part, it must be added). We now have pork available, and we have expanded to black-bellied sheep to hopefully offer lamb soon. The animals thrive in the 300 acres of organic pastures, wild crop forests and fields. Vegetable greens and produce came in 2023AD, as well as, a certified organic orchard is taking shape in 2024AD in an effort to provide families with a well-rounded display of farm fresh goodness.
Our family also runs the nonprofit St. Jerome School & Library for traditional Catholic homeschooling and books. We offer a full curriculum for Grades Preschool through Grade 12 with a committment to truth and rooting out heresy. Please visit our website at www.stjeromelibrary.org
