About the Farm
Background
Downtown Farms is known for being a local source of pasture-raised meats, emphasizing a connection between the community and their food. They focus on providing happy, healthy foods from their farm to the table, ensuring customers can trust the quality and origins of their meat products.
Practices
The farm employs pasture-based methods, using floor-less pens to house meat birds, which are moved daily to fresh pasture paddocks. These birds benefit from fresh air, exercise, sunshine, and GMO-free feed, maximizing their natural diet. For egg production, they utilize a portable hen-house known as the egg mobile, allowing laying hens to free-range, eat bugs, and sanitize the pasture. Weekly movements ensure fresh forage for the hens, resulting in high-quality eggs.
The Rest
Visitors and customers are encouraged to experience the satisfaction of knowing their food and their farmer, reinforcing the farm's mission to heal the land, community, and food.
