How We Farm

At Tierra Verde Farms, we are committed to knowing and improving the land and its resources, facilitating the flourishing of the animals under our care, and holding in highest honor the people that we employ and the customers that we serve. We think regenerative agriculture accomplishes this because good agriculture fosters great relationships in every direction. Animals that are flourishing are able to express the uniqueness that is inherent to their kind. As a result, they are low in stress and thrive on the strength of their own healthy immune systems. These characteristics pass onto their offspring and also to those of us who eventually eat them. For example, cattle and sheep can convert grass, which is indigestible for most animals, into energy, milk, and muscle. In doing so, they are more healthy, lower in stress, and if managed well, allow the pastures to improve with every bite. The result is that all of our animals live most if not all of their lives on pasture. And, our cattle and sheep are 100% grass-fed and grass-finished. In addition, all animals are moved regularly to avoid living in their manure but also spreading it to build greater fertility in our soils. Plus, for the animals that must eat grains to grow (pigs and poultry), our feed must be non-GMO (genetically modified organisms) and to the best of our ability, free from all chemical treatments and absolutely no glyphosate (Round-Up) at all, ever. A flourishing Tierra Verde Farm will be hospitable, fruitful, and pleasing to the sight. And, the by-products will be a healthy land, healthy animals, and healthy people for years to come. Thank you for allowing us to serve you in ways that will make our grand-children proud.
