About the Farm
Background
Located in northern Lancaster County, the farm is stewarded by the Thomas families. Nate Thomas, affectionately known as 'Farmer Nate,' leads the team with a passion for saving old farms and producing highly nutritious food. The farm has become known for its premium grass-fed, locally-raised, clean meats, offering over 300 handcrafted meat products, including 80 flavors of sausage and 50 flavors of bacon.
Practices
Emphasis is placed on soil health and multi-generational sustainability. The farm raises heritage breed animals without chemicals and artificial supplements. Beef is 100% grass-fed and grass-finished on chemical-free pastures. Chickens, turkeys, and pigs are pasture-raised and supplemented with locally grown organic grains. The farm also practices regenerative carbon-negative methods.
The Rest
The farm's products are available at their on-farm store, local farmer's markets, CSAs, and buying clubs. They offer a wide array of fresh and smoked meats and poultry products, including deli meats, snack sticks, and jerky. The farm also values community and relationships, encouraging customers to connect with their farmers.
