Black Swamp Cattle Company

Black Swamp Cattle Co. is dedicated to producing clean food products while rebuilding the environment and soils. They draw inspiration from the historical migration patterns of bison, utilizing herbivores to mimic these natural processes. Their commitment to ethical and regenerative farming has made them known for their high-quality meat and environmentally conscious practices.

By employing management intensive grazing, the farm moves livestock daily to mimic the constant movement of bison. This method allows cattle to graze the top third of plants, which is rich in solar energy, and simultaneously trample plants to add organic matter and carbon to the soil. This practice enhances soil biology, increases water infiltration, and reduces runoff. The farm strictly raises cattle on forage, avoiding grain, hormone implants, synthetic worming, fly ear tags, insecticides, antibiotics, and monocultures. Instead, they ensure soil is always covered, maintain plant diversity, keep living roots in the soil, and minimize soil disturbance, all while providing a habitat for wildlife.

Visitors to the farm will observe herbivores grazing on perennial and annual forages, a commitment to soil health, and a diverse ecosystem. The farm also offers beef, poultry, and whole-apple cider vinegar for sale, emphasizing their holistic approach to land management and food production.
