Galen Bontrager Farm is an individually owned and operated "beyond organic" farm dedicated to raising high quatlity meat and eggs with pasture-based farming methods. I raise Salad Bar Beef, Salad Bar Lamb, pastured broilers, pastured turkeys, and pastured eggs. My prodcution practices were learned at my apprenticeship with the best farmer in the country, Joel Salatin and Polyface Inc., in Virginia. (Joel was featured in The New York Times runaway bestseller "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan) My animals are managed in an intensive rotational grazing system. Beef and sheep eat pasture and hay. The poultry are raised on pasture getting lots of sunshine and exercise. I am not certified organic but grain used for the poultry is non-GMO and I avoid the use of drugs, hormones, and chemicals in my land and animal management. (more...)
