The farm that plays host to our beef cattle is Camp Branch. It’s named for the braided black water stream that meanders through the property. When we first acquired the 365 acre tract it was in need of some care. The old cropland openings had been depleted by years of conventional, intensive practices leaving little organic material in the soil. In creating our pastures we began a process that would gradually heal the land and thereby sustain a healthy herd of grazing animals.

An enlightened farmer knows that soil is the lifeblood of food. And, properly built soil is at the heart of great food that has reaped the benefit of taking in the combination of sunlight, rain and carbon from the sky with minimal non-natural inputs. We revel in having properly made this formula work for us, and especially for our prized foraging stock.
