Reverence Farms

About this farm

Reverence Farms is a diversified, thriving polyculture where we treat our animals with reverence and grace, earthworms are cherished, and all critters eat a species-appropriate diet. We offer pastured eggs from chickens fed a locally milled organic ration, and our hens are moved to fresh pasture daily where they eat a full complement of bugs and fresh forages. Our broiler chickens get a fresh salad bar daily. Our poultry (chickens and turkey) and pig (pork) rations contain a diversity of proteins (including flax and field peas) to improve the taste and nutritional profile of our products and reduce our reliance on soy. The soy in our rations are different from conventional feedstuffs in that it’s derived from whole, roasted organic soybeans instead of soybean meal--an industrial waste product customarily fed to livestock. The hens follow our dairy cows and sheep (lamb) in a rotation that takes into account the need of the grass to regenerate in order to provide the best nutrition for all the animals and to allow the soil to capture the carbon from the atmosphere. We raise our dairy calves on mama cows, with all the milk they can drink and the normalcy of running in a mixed-aged herd. We do this to ensure the best and brightest dairy herd for the future, and to provide an outstanding life to even the young males, which later become our signature ambrosia beef. Our commitment to whole food means we are also diligent about the ingredients in our value-added products. That means our sausages are not only free from MSG directly, but also are free of “spice extractives” and other fractionated ingredients that often contain undisclosed sources of free glutamates. We cure our bacon the old-fashioned way, using just salt (no nitrates) and molasses, and our bulk sausages are free of sugar. We started this farm as a homestead to feed our family and we are serious about what it means to say, “This is food.”
