OUR ANIMALS
Our philosophy on raising animals is based in reciprocity, connection, and sustainability. As first generation farmers, we are learning to build sustainable habitats and provide diverse nourishing diets for our animals. In exchange we ask for harvest, taking the whole animal and its many resources with efficiency, dignity, and gratitude. These animals are part of our community and contribute to our mission of cultivating space of learning, healing and growth– through the wisdom of mother earth.
