Non-GMO feed is livestock feed made from ingredients that have not been genetically modified. This means the crops used, like corn or soy, are grown without altering their DNA in a lab. Non-GMO feed avoids synthetic chemicals, ensuring animals consume a more natural diet, which is believed to improve animal health and the quality of meat, milk, and eggs. It’s often preferred by farmers and consumers aiming for sustainability and ethical farming practices​. We buy our feed from (Sunrise Farms)​.

Forest-raised pork is better because the pigs are allowed to forage naturally, expressing their instinctual behaviors like rooting and exploring. This leads to healthier, less stressed animals and higher-quality meat with richer flavor. Unlike commercial settings, forest-raised pigs have access to a diverse, natural diet, which contributes to better nutrient profiles in the meat. These sustainable and ethical practices also promote environmental health by reducing the need for antibiotics and artificial feed​

Pasture-raised chicken is better than commercially raised chicken because the birds are free to roam, forage on fresh grass, and enjoy sunshine, leading to healthier, more natural growth. These chickens are moved daily to new areas, ensuring they always have access to fresh grass and preventing disease buildup. Unlike commercial chickens, they aren't given antibiotics, and they are fed non-GMO feeds, resulting in cleaner, more nutritious meat with better flavor. The natural environment also supports animal welfare, reducing stress and promoting ethical farming practices​
