Little Creek Farm

orns and Highlanders efficiently turn a pasture diet into delicious, healthy meat high in CLA's and Omega-3's (the "GOOD" fats). I employ rotational grazing through at least 3 seasons to protect the land and keep the herd healthier. Calves stay with their mothers, nursing as nature intended which bolsters their immunity and reduces stress. Because the animals are good-natured and never over-crowded, I allow their beautiful horns to grow, avoiding the stressful de-horning process. The long horns also provide a practical advantage to the mothers for natural protection of their calves from predators. Despite their intimidating appearance, the cattle are not aggressive to their human friends. In winter I feed them certified organic hay and pasture forage as the weather allows. All year the herd has natural mineral and kelp supplements, clear spring water, open air and access to shelter from severe weather.

Hogs are purchased as young feeders from a neighboring farm and raised on mixed clover/grass pasture with plenty of room to roam and wallow in the mud. They have shelter from the sun and weather as they choose. In addition to pasture forages, they get a mixed diet of organic garden refuse, certified organic grain and certified organic dairy products.

Meat is processed at a local, family-owned, state-inspected and licensed facility. The cuts are double-wrapped in convenient sized portions, labeled and quick-frozen. We then deliver it to you in our freezer-equipped truck. Meat stored at 0 degrees F. or less is good for at least a year. Plan to buy in bulk, if possible, to save money and ensure your family's year-round supply of healthy meats. It is best to butcher grass-fed animals in the fall of the year as the pasture season winds down because their CLA and Omega-3 content is greatest at this time. Supplies are limited since our herd size is small. So order early to avoid sell-outs. Advance reservations are welcome. Payment is made at time of delivery. Thank you for considering adding Little Creek Farm meats to your family's diet! If you have any questions, please contact me. E-mail works the best and helps to keep long distance charges down.
