Butter Patch Jerseys and Jersey Thyme Farm, a working family operation established in 1981, is now taking orders for Red Poll and Black Angus pastured beef. These steers are noted for their natural tenderness and marbling. They have been pastured on succulent forages and have never received steroids, antibiotics, or hormone supplements.

You can purchase a whole, half or quarter beef that has been processed and vacuum sealed at a USDA inspected facility. We also offer whole Grade A raw milk from our herd of registered Jersey milk cows, brown eggs from free-range chickens, and a few lambs will be available this spring.

You can be assured that the food you purchase from us has been produced naturally and humanely—no confinement housing. Our quality guarantee is this: We don't sell any food that we would not allow our grandchildren to eat.

Caw Caw Creek Pastured Pork is proud to introduce to today's markets the delicious flavor of the pastured pork that your grandparents knew and loved. Our production is different from most other pig farms:

• Our pigs are allowed to roam freely, socialize, and engage in instinctive pig behaviors such as rooting, wallowing, and foraging.
• Our sows are not crated. Instead they give birth naturally and express their maternal behavior by building nests.
• We rotate our pigs through the pasture and the woods. The have free access to water and feed in their paddocks.
• There are no animal by-products in our feed.
• No hormones or routine antibiotics are given to our pigs.
• Our farm has no waste issues, no waste lagoons. Manure is returned to the soil where it builds fertility.
• Our pork is selected for a high percentage of intramuscular fat, like a choice steak. Regular pork is dry and flavorless. Our pork is the other RED meat!

Visit our website for more information or give us a call. We ship all across the USA.

Crusader Farms offers pastured chickens and turkeys, lamb, eggs from free-range birds, and beef from cattle that are a Scottish Highlander/Shorthorn cross. (The Highland/Shorthorn cross won the top prize at the Denver National Stock Show 21 out of 25 years.)

The basic tenet of Crusader farms is to "have as near to perfect soil as possible…" This means that our cattle, sheep, chickens and turkeys will make the best gain on fresh forage, and we will not have to feed them grains and fillers.

Oaklyn Plantation Free Range Chicken and Beef is pleased to offer pastured chickens and turkeys and grassfed beef. We ship our products to most parts of the United States but it is most economical for the eastern half of the country.

Given the climate of the southeast we are able to raise our product year round. Our cattle are born and raised on the farm and are mostly Hereford, Angus and now with a little Jersey mixed in. The poultry receive a ration of grains (primarily non-GM) and a vitamin mix based on Kelp meal and some fish meal for protein. They get no antibiotics, coccidiostats or artificial growth promotants.

Visit our website or call us. Farm visits are by appointment only.

Old Paths Farm is committed to the goal of producing the world's best food—food that is nutritious, delicious and reasonably priced--in a manner that protects, nurtures and improves the land we're blessed to farm.

In pursuit of that goal, we use no chemical fertilizers, animal hormones or pesticides of any kind in production of pastured broilers and laying hens, salad bar beef, turkeys, pigs and garden vegetables. Customers may order fresh beef, pork, chicken and turkey, seasonally, or stop by the farm year-round for frozen goods, baked items, and other family-produced wares. We welcome visitors to the farm, and can arrange tours in advance. No Sunday calls or visits, please.

We view our farm as much a ministry as a profitable business. We want to provide what our customers can't get anywhere else, namely locally-produced food that's fit to eat and that supports the rejuvenation and continuation of the family farm for the generations to come.

Sharon Rose Farm is a small family farm which prides itself on producing the best possible pasture-raised beef, lamb, pork, poultry, potatoes, cornmeal and wheat berries, raised in a healthy, natural, controlled environment that honors our Creator, our land and our customers.

During the growing season our beef and sheep are rotated to fresh paddocks daily. The laying hens are moved every other day and are free to roam, scratch and peck. The pastured broilers are raised May through October in portable huts that are also moved daily to fresh, clean pasture.

However, because of our small size, supplies may be limited. But we are doing our best to increase production without sacrificing quality.

The Sharon Rose Farm is located just five miles off I-85 and eight miles off I-26 in the Upstate of South Carolina so we're easy to find.

For more information and availability of products please call Rollie Knoke or e-mail.

Talley Valley Farm is located near the headwater of the Saluda watershed on the banks of the South Saluda River. This pristine mountain valley has been in our family for 4 generations and is the setting for our grass based farming system. Our farming operation focuses on three main criteria:

1. Be ever improving stewards of the land, waterways, and associated ecosystem;
2. Be dedicated to the humane treatment and welfare of our animals;
3. Provide our customers with the safest, tastiest, and healthiest food products possible.

Our grass fed Black Angus beef is hormone-free, antibiotic-free, young, lean and tender. The animals are grazed on fresh grass and hay produced on our farm. The beef is USDA inspected, dry aged, and vacum packaged. We offer various quantities for purchase from 10–12 pound weekend party packages to whole beefs. We also offer fresh free-range brown eggs and free-range poultry.

We enjoy our rural heritage and roots. Like many areas of the country this is fast disappearing in upstate South Carolina. Thus we encourage visits from customers and parties interested in preserving agrarian lifestyles.

As our farm evolves we may be offering other products. Contact us and if we cannot provide you with the product you desire we may be able to recommend others.
