We believe that real organic food is always grown in healthy, biologically active, fertile soil. We strive to create the best growing conditions for soil fertility through our practices. We rotate our animals through our fields and pastures, utilize green manures and cover crops, use locally produced compost, and rotate our crops thoughtfully. Our livestock are raised outside on pasture as an integrated piece of our fertility plan. We believe that soil health is the key to nutrient density and strive to create the best conditions possible for plants, animals and people. We pride ourselves in clean, highly nutritious food and encourage you to taste the difference!

Pasture-Raised Eggs & Chicken

We have a young flock of Barred Rock laying hens here at Spear Spring Farm. Our hens are pasture-raised, spending the majority of their days outside with the freedom to forage bugs and grasses. They cluck, scratch, and happily spread their wings. We feed them 100% organic, soy free grain. We choose to feed our hens a soy free organic grain because of potential hormonal disruptions from phytoestrogens found in soy, as well as digestive issues caused by phytic acid, which can limit nutrient absorption.

 

We raise a small number of pasture-raised chicken for meat each year. Our chickens are given ample time to forage and roam in their natural rhythm, eating insects, worms, seeds and grasses. Whatever nutrients are consumed by the chickens are given back to the land in the form of manure. We supplement their feed with 100% organic grain. Pastured chicken is superior in flavor and texture due to the quality of their diet.

Pasture-Raised Pork

Our pasture-raised pigs are raised outside and given the freedom to forage, root, and run around. In their natural habitat, pigs eat a wide variety of nutrients including nuts, seeds, grasses, grubs, leaves, and fruit. We supplement their feed with our own organically grown vegetables otherwise destined for the compost pile, and we feed them 100% certified organic grain. Pastured pork is superior in flavor and texture due to the quality of their diet. Grazing animals helps regenerate the land by consuming weeds and fertilizing the soil with their manure.
