3D Valley Farm — See below.
A1 Heritage Breed Farms is located in west central Ohio, close to Indiana, not far from I-75.
We started our farm for several key reasons. First and foremost we wanted to be sustainable. We feel that God has entrusted us as stewards of his creation. Being sustainable keeps our land and animals in the best possible health and returns the land in better shape than when we received it. Secondly, we wanted to raise the best tasting food because food should never have additives if its authentically good! Third, we wanted our children to grow up on a farm—who wouldn’t? Lastly, and most importantly, we wanted food that was good for you. Raising a young and growing family, eating healthy food was a no brainer which is why we grow everything using organic practices. All of these decisions lead us to raising the heritage breeds of: Dexter cattle, Large Black and Red Wattle hogs, Buckeye chickens, Olberhasi goats, Bronze breasted turkeys, and several other mixed breeds of animals, most of which follow the heritage breed lines.
We currently have pastured freezer pork available $2.00/lb. live weight = to about $3.50 hanging weight. There is lots of bacon on our hogs—800 slices on average! No wonder they call large blacks “bacon hogs.” These are our personal favorites, they taste EXCELLENT. In our opinion, there is no comparison in taste and flavor!
Grass Fed Dexter beef is the fastest selling item on our farm. Dexters have excellent marbling for grass fed animals and have about a 20% larger rib eye for its size (my favorite cut! ) They are extremely docile and small. If you are used to ordering a half, then you want a whole; if you are used to a quarter, you want half a Dexter. This allows you to get all the premium cuts of meat without breaking the bank!
Pastured poultry. Please order ahead because we get our chicks in late winter/early spring. We can raise as many meat birds as our customers want, but we have to receive the orders early to get our preparations done ahead of summer. We also have pastured eggs layed by our favorite bird, the Buckeyes! What a great bird, raised in the same great state as its namesake!
Delivery available Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo, Indianapolis and closer.
As always thank you for your business and remember to eat local and eat fresh!
God Bless.

dedicated to raising hogs in their natural environment. Our
happy hogs are raised on pasture and in wooded areas where
they can root and play and be hogs. They graze on pasture
designed for them or eat leaves and acorns from their large

Sub-Therapeutic Antibiotics, Hormones or Animal By-Products.
Here at C & D Family Farms, we use a special
feed blend by Hubbard Feeds from their Homestead line that does not contain
sub-therapeutic antibiotics, growth hormones or animal by-products so
none of this is passed on to our consumers.

and happy hogs.
We sell by the whole, half, or individual cuts; visit
our website for details. Our pork is also available at several farmers
markets, grocery stores and restaurants. (See Indiana Beyond

fresh air with plenty of sunlight. Our chicks are started with
organically certified grain. Their foraging diet consists of grasses,
legumes, bugs and grain that contains no hormones, steroids, antibiotics,
or animal by-products.
Our farm is small enough that we are able to
put a great deal of emphasis on the health of our land, our soils,
our forages, and our animals—and that careful management undeniably
converts to the health and goodness of our beef and chicken. We
believe that it is our role to be good stewards in caring responsibly
and respectfully for the land and the animals entrusted to us by
God.
We offer freezer beef in whole, half, and quarter
portions in mid-September, and fresh whole jumbo roasters mid-summer
and late-summer. We generally have a supply of ground "All
Cut Burger" year-round. Our meats are delicious, tender, flavorful,
loaded with the CLA that comes from fresh green grasses and legumes,
and (bonus!) good for you!
