Our Stance on Antibiotics & Hormones | Prioritizing Animal Welfare Over Fads

At our farm, animal husbandry is our top priority. We believe in providing the best possible care for our animals, and that means sometimes making tough decisions for their well-being.

One thing you might notice is the growing trend of “no antibiotics” in the food industry. While we support raising animals naturally, we won’t let any of our animals suffer just to fit a marketing label.

Here's why:

Antibiotics are a tool, and we only use them when absolutely necessary to treat illness or infection. If an animal needs antibiotics to heal, we give them the care they deserve, plain and simple.

But what does "no antibiotics" really mean? It doesn’t mean that animals have never been given antibiotics in their lifetime.

What it truly means is that at the time of processing, there are no antibiotics left in the animal’s system. This is because of the USDA’s strict withdrawal period, which ensures all antibiotics are fully cleared from an animal’s body before it enters the food supply.

We take pride in raising healthy animals with natural practices, and we work hard to avoid the need for antibiotics through good nutrition, clean environments, and proper care.

But if an animal does get sick, we won’t let them suffer to chase a “no antibiotic ever” claim. It’s about doing right by our animals and ensuring that every bite of our pasture-raised meats is safe, wholesome, and responsibly sourced.

When it comes to hormones, our stance is simple: we don’t use them—ever.

We believe in raising our animals as naturally as possible, which means no added hormones for growth or production. This includes the parents of our animals as well.

From birth to processing, our livestock are hormone-free, because we believe that good, old-fashioned animal care and proper nutrition are all they need to thrive.

This is why you will often hear us say this is why it is so important to know your farmer - so you can trust your food source.

We have no problem in being complete transparent about our practices on our farm.

If this aligns with your values, we are so excited to be your farmers.
