Newaygo Shepherd's Farm

Newaygo Shepherd's Farm produces grassfed sheep, primarily-grassfed goats, pastured turkeys and chickens/eggs. The manure and bedding from the animals fertilizes the vegetables that are sold in local farmer's markets by "Salle's Garden."

I, the shepherd(ess), raise organic hay on the farm to feed the animals in winter. Future projects include raising corn organically to feed the chickens and turkeys. You can purchase the animals live to slaughter yourself or to pick up at a meat processing plant. I do insist on humane means of slaughter. Grassfed lamb can also be purchased at the farm by the cut, in frozen, sealed packages.

I encourage visiting but must warn you that work cannot stop for this and you may be asked to lend a hand. Nothing (more...)
