Welcome
NO FARMER, NO FOOD!
KNOW YOUR FARMER, KNOW YOUR FOOD!
Our Mission
We’re first about joyfully raising and training our five children to be happy, faithful, and responsible young people. Second, we’re about producing clean and delicious food that is produced in an environmentally responsible and sustainable manner.
Our Commitment
As stewards of our environment and farm, we are committed to the following practices:
We don’t use any chemical or petroleum-based fertilizers. We fertilize the old fashion way, with compost, manure, and worm castings. We don’t use chemical pesticides on our veggies. Our current methods of pest control include manual removal, diatomaceous earth, flower derived solutions, and insecticidal soap. Our animals are treated lovingly and humanely. We try as much as possible to provide a habitat that closely resembles the animals natural environment.
Our Products
Authentic Country Brown Eggs - All Natural
At Heavenly Homestead, our birds are in fresh air daily. They are allowed to free-range, where they can eat grass, seeds, and grasshoppers. They’re healthy and strong and lay eggs that display that same vitality in appearance, taste, and healthiness. Studies have shown increased levels Omega 3 fatty acids in pastured eggs. (See Mother Earth News Oct. '07 article at http://www.motherearthnews.com/Real-Food/2007-10-01/Tests-Reveal-Healthi... and www.OrganicConsumers.org.)
Fresh Local Pasture-Raised Poultry - All Natural
Our meat chickens are raised outdoors on lush, green pasture. They are protected from predators in our open-air shelters which are moved daily to fresh pasture. This more-natural production model results in a healthy, low-fat bird with a tender taste that is way superior to supermarket chicken! Available seasonally.
Authentic Country Raised Pork
We are having so much fun raising pigs! If you're going to eat pork, why not purchase pork from a happy pig. We don't feed our pigs antibiotics, hormones or other harmful chemicals.We don't ring their noses (which prevents them from rooting). We don't keep our pigs penned up in the same spot for their entire lives. We don't lock them up inside a stinky, metal, warehouse. We don't dock their tails. Instead, we let our pigs run around in the woods, where they are contained in a portable electric fence. This fence is moved every couple of days to provide fresh ground with plenty of roots, acorns, nuts, and seeds to forage. We also feed them a locally-milled, unmedicated, hog feed. Now is the time to place your order. You can order either a half, or a whole pig. Call or email us for pricing - (850) 997-5509 or heavenlyhomestead at yah00 d0t c0m (trying to keep the spammers at bay!).
Holiday Turkeys
For the past few holiday seasons, we have raised small batches of large roasting chickens, instead of turkeys. We may raise more this year. However, we will also be raising turkeys for the first time. We anticipate that these will sell out quickly. First come, first served. A $50 deposit is required to reserve one.
