Many different farming practices have been part of the operation since then, including crops, sheep, thirty years of dairy cattle, nine years of beef cattle.Roland began taking over the operation of the farm in late 2004 and converted over to a true grass-fed beef program in 2005. The goal of going to the grass-fed beef was to provide a locally grown, healthy source of beef in a natural, less stressful environment, all the while trying to ensure the future of the farm. Goats were added in 2006, laying hens in 2007, pigs and broiler chickens in 2009.A true grass-fed beef program means the cattle eat only grass, hay, and a free-choice mineral. The cattle never receive any grain. This is accomplished by utilizing rotational grazing practices as much as possible and by feeding hay only as needed. While we are moving towards all grass-fed goats, they are currently supplemented with some grain. Our pastures are no longer treated with any pesticides. Neither hormones nor growth promotants are given to the cattle or goats, and we sell only antibiotic-free beef.
You can come and talk with Roland about his farm, and find quality meats every Saturday at the Market, or shop directly from the farm. For more information including outlet/store hours and prices check out his website waltersunlimited.com or info@waltersunlimited.com Fresh Fare
