Organic meats & veggies. Here, we grow grass in our re-mineralized/balanced soil. This is what our Devon and Jersey cows eat every day, along with a mineral mix, unrefined natural sea salt and kelp that they have access to at all times. And this is where our milk comes from. We believe it is the most nutrient dense milk and the best value in Florida because of the care we take in building up our soil and the free choice minerals our cows have access to at all times. Not only are our cows fed mineral rich grasses but we also avoid feeding grain. Cows have four stomachs that are meant to digest grasses and when they are fed grain they are set up to allow for e-coli in the gut. Because of this we are 100% grass fed. In the winter time we MAY feed a pint of molasses and organic alfalfa pellets at milking but this usually only lasts for a few weeks. We hope to put an end to this as our soils become more balanced and can produce a better yield of green winter rye grasses. In the winter we also feed chemical free hay from our own farm that we make in the summer and fall, as well as from trusted suppliers. Cows fed grain get a condition called acidosis making their meat and milk more acid. This occurs because grain is an unnatural feed for cattle.
