Frequently asked Questions

---

Where are you located?

We are on 30 acres in Conover NC 

What meats do you sell? 

We sell pasture raised chicken, turkey, duck, and pork. 

What kinds of pigs do you raise? 

We currently raise 2 heritage breeds of pigs. Large Black Hogs, and Gloucester Old Spots. Both of these breeds do well raised in the woods, and have amazing flavor because of it. 

Can I bring my kids to your farm?

We welcome anyone who wants to come see the farm! Since we are a working farm we ask that you email beforehand to set up a time.

How are your birds raised? 

Our birds come to our farm around 2 days old, and stay in a brooder (read warm, dry barn) until they have enough feathers and are strong enough for full exposure to 24/7 elements. This is usually 2-3 weeks. After that we take them outside where they spend the rest of their life getting rotated on fresh grass. 

Do you sell eggs?

We do! You can find our white chicken eggs at the Be Natural Grocery store in Boone, and Carolina Farm Trust in Charlotte. Brown eggs coming soon :) 

Do birds really eat grass? 

Yes! As you can see in the above picture, the paddock on the right is where the chickens had been. You can see the difference from the uneaten paddock on the left. Chickens get about 20% of their diet from grasses, and turkeys get about 30%. 

Who processes your meat?

We do all of our own processing. This means less stress for the birds since they do not have to travel to a processing plant. It also enables us to make sure our animals are properly cared for, even in death. 

What do you feed your birds?

Birds are omnivores and need more than just grass to survive. We feed our birds locally milled grains. Additionally our meat chickens and egg layers get a Non-GMO feed. We are currently working on growing Blue Clarage heirloom corn (pictured) to be able to feed our birds corn right from our property!
