Tothill Farms Meat

Tothill Farms is local, family farm located in the Driftless Area with a mission to produce and market healthy, artisan meat. Our farm gets its name from the original spelling of our surname which was derived from the many hills that rose from the flat land where our ancestors lived and their connection to the hills. We too feel a tie to the hills and land that surround us and the need to be good stewards so future generations will be able to enjoy this amazing diverse land. Back then our family actually lived on the hill and kept watch over the safety of their friends and relatives in the town below. That was their role and in fact, they were knighted for their efforts. Today our family has the same goal. Not being knighted, just doing our part to provide meat that is wholesome and healthy for our relatives and friends, both old and new, to eat. We are a big family and our kids are involved in many facets of the business, from taking care of animals, to making deliveries, to doing samplings at grocery stores. From our farm, and others like ours, Tothill Farms provides local farm-to-table meat, raised naturally and responsibly. Lamb, goat, pork, chicken and beef that is thoughtfully raised and carefully crafted for a healthy and great tasting eating experience. We want our friends and neighbors to enjoy meat the way it used to be, before mass production became more important than quality of taste and a humane environment. That's why we use livestock breeds that have not been bred for mass production but rather ones that have heritage characteristics that yield exceptional "gourmet" taste. We also raise our animals in natural, small farm environments which includes eating grass and humane treatment, without artificial growth hormones, animal by products or routine antibiotics. We do use antibiotics and other treatments in the case of health emergencies when it is in the best interest of the animal. Just like we do our kids. We are committed to do our small part to help the local small farm community. That is why we don't think we need to raise all the animals needed to supply our great tasting lamb, goat, pork, beef and chicken. Instead, we partner with like-minded farmers to help us. We just think that makes sense on multiple levels. We realize that working and partnering with other farms not only strengthens our farm community but our collaboration improves us all and helps bring you a better product. We look for farmers who have an honest work ethic, love their animals, want to save a way of life and who put quality over everything. We believe you can eat local, healthy meat without paying an exorbitant amount for it just because it carries some buzz words like organic, antibiotic free or grass fed. In today's world people throw around a lot of words that sound good but in reality don't mean a whole lot. For instance, meat can be labeled organic based on the type of feed it is given but that doesn't tell the whole story of how the animal is raised or treated. We want you to enjoy our great tasting and healthy meat and stay in your budget. Simply put we are committed to providing high quality, consistent, products using common sense approaches, responsible animal management and good land stewardship practices, that tastes great. The bottom line is if we wouldn't feed it to our family we sure won't feed it to yours. And that's our promise.
