What is Sustainable Agriculture?

A system that is economically viable for farmers, environmentally healthy, and supportive of local communities and rural areas.

Our chickens live in a chicken tractor.  This is a portable coop with no bottom, which allows the chickens access to fresh greens and bugs to supplement their diet.  The tractor is moved every day to a new spot so there are no odors or cleaning chores.  For more information on this method of raising happy hens, please read:

 We have a 30-acre farm, located at 3522 S. Friegel Rd., Owosso.  Our  barn was built by Rob's Home Improvement, rtn@shianet.org   The barn is home to our Nigerian Dwarf and Alpine goats, a Dexter Cow, and Black Welsh Mountain Sheep.   We also raise pastured poultry, have free-range eggs available, and a breeding flock of Narragansett Turkeys. Order early for Thanksgiving 2001!

Recently, I have become aware of the benefits of grassfed Meat, Eggs, and Dairy Products!  When ruminant animals are raised on their natural diet of grass instead of grain, their products are lower in "bad" fat and calories, but higher in potentially lifesaving "good" fats.
