Our family farming history began back in the early 1700's in what was than known as Saxony, Germany. Our ancestors left Germany on April 20, 1734, aboard the ship St. Andrew, mastered by Capt. John Stedman. They landed at what is now known as Penn's Landing in Philadelphia, PA. On Sept. 22, 1734 they settled our family's first "New World" farm near Society Run in Frederick Township, Montgomery County, Pa. Pig farming was our family's specialty from 1734 until the mid 1950s. A lot has changed since then.
We organically maintain 80 acres, comprising of 22 acres in rotational grazing paddocks, with alfalfa & mixed grass hay on the balance acres.
Our Christ centered cow?calf operation is a closed herd of 100% Grass-fed full-blood Beefalo. We individually evaluate and score our bulls & heifers for fleshing ability, thickness, muscling, masculinity, disposition, hair coat and fly resistance. Seeing is believing!
We specialize in producing cows that are of moderate size (frame score of 3-5 with mature weight of 1,000-1,200 lbs.); easy-fleshing with an ability to maintain good body condition on limited feed resources; and structurally sound.
We keep our Calving in sync with nature, which matches the cow's highest nutritional requirements to our farms highest and best production of fresh forages.
We also breed and raise 40 to 45 year-round pastured Tam-Roc cross pigs annually. Our poultry consists of 100 Free Ranged/pastured broilers; and 40-50 brown egg layers.
