Nordic Hills Farm

About this farm

Nordic Hills Farm is located in the beautiful Coulee Region of western Wisconsin, 50 miles east of LaCrosse, 25 Miles south of Sparta and Tomah and 25 miles west of Mauston. Our waters drain into the nearby Kickapoo River. Our scenery is wonderful. Call for directions. Come for a visit! We believe in grass based farming because we think it is best for the people who consume the animals and poultry which are grown on grass, best for the animals themselves, and best for the environment. In rumininating animals, health issues such as acidosis, liver abscesses, mastitis and parasites are controlled naturally instead of with antibiotics. The exercise of grazing, fresh air, sunshine and fresh pastures are the core issues for good animal health. Rogue proteins which cause mad cow disease are not found in grasses but in supplements fed to animals in confinement settings. Sound genetic selection enables birthing ease, healthy young animals and docility. (Our sheep and cattle are glad to see us and come when called. Remember the invitation to come for a visit so you can see this.) Human beings are the beneficiaries. They eat meat and poultry from healthy creatures. Grass fed meat is higher in conjugated linoleic acids and omega 3 acids which are cancer fighters and weight controllers. Further, there is less total fat and less saturated fat in grass fed animal products. The environment benefits. Sequestering of carbon in the soil occurs, slowing global warming. Reduction of wind and water erosion occurs. Organic matter increases and nitrate pollution reduces. Earthworm populations become abundant and soil enzyme production increases. We want to be good stewards of the land and of the animals on the land, and that means grass farming. We produce beef, lamb and broilers. Turkey and pork raised by Amish friends are also available.
