Parker Pastures is located a few minutes from downtown Gunnison, CO. Our
center piece is the Grass-fed Dairy from which we offer Raw Milk Dairy Herdshares. We are members of the Raw Milk Association of Colorado. We also offer 100% Grass-fed Beef, Pastured Pork, 100% Grass-fed Lamb, Pasture-raised Eggs, and Pasture-Raised
chicken.
Though not certified organic, we strive to go above and beyond organic principals. Use of the Holistic Management model, short-duration, high intensity grazing followed by long recovery times for the plants, is proving to improve degraded landscapes, build soil, and sequester carbon. Animals are humanely raised and allowed to express their particular "animalness" within family groups with plenty of fresh pasture and clean mountain water. Please visit our website, contact us at
