About the Farm
Background
Located in Two Harbors, MN, the farm has become a staple in the North Shore community for its commitment to raising pure-fed, pastured meat. Over the years, it has expanded its offerings to include a variety of meats such as pork, chicken, beef, and turkey, all raised without the use of hormones, antibiotics, herbicides, pesticides, GMOs, or artificial fertilizers. The farm also offers live potted berry plants and compost, contributing to the local food economy and sustainable agriculture practices.
Practices
The farm adheres to a philosophy they call PURE-farming, which they claim sets a higher standard than organic farming without the involvement of government regulations. All animals are 100% pastured in woodlands and fed a nutritious, pure diet. The farm emphasizes the ethical treatment of animals, ensuring they live in environments that mimic their natural habitats. They strictly avoid the use of hormones, antibiotics, herbicides, pesticides, GMOs, and other artificial substances, focusing instead on natural and holistic farming methods.
The Rest
In addition to their meat products, the farm offers a variety of wild-crafted items such as fiddlehead ferns and wild ramps, which are Northwoods culinary delicacies. They also provide farm product gift certificates and various meat bundles, although many of these items are often sold out due to high demand. The farm encourages community engagement through newsletters and offers educational materials on healthy eating. They pride themselves on their PURE-farming philosophy, which they believe surpasses organic standards.
