List of available products and prices on our home page. Further details on website Pasture-raised poultry and grass-fed livestock, old breeds. Back Forty Acres is a family-owned farming venture whose vision is to produce good tasting meat and poultry products for the local community, raised naturally - on pasture and with natural feeds - humanely - done in a sustainable fashion. Simple as that! Our animal feed has no chemicals, antibiotics or growth hormones. Mother Nature does not feed these to her animals and humans were not meant to consume them through the food chain. We believe mimicking Mother Nature can improve the quality of food and the quality of life. Our animals are not confined as they are in many factory farms. Our poultry (chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese) are raised on pasture in either portable pasture pens or in fenced in areas. They are outside in the fresh air and sunshine. Daily we move the pasture pens to a fresh new patch of green where they eat insects and grass, which we supplement with our natural feed. Our egg layers are free range with 24/7 access to a large area we fence in with moveable fence. Moveable so we can get them new grassy area. Our sheep and goats are grass fed on 20+ acres. The pigs are currently in the barn with 24/7 access to a paddock. Soon they too will have their own corner of the pasture, where they can root around and just enjoy being a pig! We also raise rabbit. Outside living with access to proper foods can improve the quality of the meat and eggs along with the quality of the animal's life. We raise several Heritage Breeds. Have you heard this term? Factory farms generally raise only one type of chicken, pig, etc., focusing on a breed that will grow fast and cheap. Because of this, many Heritage Breeds have populations that have dropped to a critical level. These "old breeds" of poultry and livestock are the ones our ancestors put on their tables. Rediscover them as many have across the country! You will be pleasantly surprised with the quality and flavor. Concerned breeders across the country are trying to build up their flocks and herds of Heritage breeds. With your purchase, you are saying that biodiversity is important. We raise Tamworth pigs, Slate and Bourbon Red turkeys and Silver Appleyard ducks for their eggs. Read more at www.backfortyacres.com
