Grass Fed Beef
Our cattle are raised on pasture their entire lives. This means that they are outside, free-ranging year round, and only eating fresh grasses, legumes and wild forbs.
Grass Fed Pork
Our pigs are a mixture of several breeds, from the fabulously marbled Berkshires and Tamworths to the curly tailed Old Spots and white belted Hamphsires.
Grass Fed Lamb
Lambs are born in the spring, and usually end up at farmers market starting in late August. Availability continues into late winter.
Free Range Eggs
We run long, easily movable ‘poultry nets’ all across our pastures, giving the chickens fresh alleys of pasture that keeps them safe from the predators on our farm.
Pastas, Soups, Empanadas
We use local ingredients from the farmers we know. Fresh ricotta, herbs, vegetables and more are all raised & produced within a 100 mile radius of Washington DC.
