About the Farm
Background
Faithful Spring Farm and Home has been dedicated to raising nutrient-rich food and creating a peaceful home environment. The farm emphasizes the importance of health through the quality of food and the comfort of one's home. Over the years, they have become known for their commitment to providing high-quality beef and vegetables while fostering a connection between their farming practices and the well-being of their customers.
Practices
The farm employs a rotational grazing system, moving cattle to fresh paddocks daily or every two days during the growing season. This method ensures that the cows have access to clean forages and grass, which contributes to their health and the quality of the meat. Supplements such as sea minerals, mineral water, apple cider vinegar, and sodium bicarbonate are provided to allow the cows to balance their nutritional needs naturally. The animals are raised without antibiotics, dewormers, or vaccines, and calves stay with their mothers until 9-10 months of age to ensure proper rumen development. The farm follows a 'birth to butcher' philosophy, keeping the animals on the ranch to minimize stress and promote a healthy ecosystem. The use of livestock is integral to their mission of enhancing soil health and creating a vibrant ecosystem, which in turn produces nutrient-dense foods.
The Rest
The farm also supports a budding farmer florist, with their daughter growing her first set of flowers. They offer a ranch loyalty box, allowing customers to support the farm and its sustainable practices. The farm's philosophy is deeply influenced by Charles Walters' book, 'Weeds-Control Without Poison,' which inspired them to work with nature rather than against it. This approach has led to a holistic view of farming, seeing weeds as indicators of soil health and striving to improve the landscape for future generations.
