Join the LFC for a special tour of Grateful Growers on Sunday, May 4th at 2 pm. Natalie Veres and Cassie Parsons have graciously agreed to open their farm to us. You'll have a chance to learn more about the delicious food that they provide to the LFC and about their experiences raising chickens, pigs and produce in an organically, sustainable and humane manner.
As stated on their website:
"Our animals are raised outdoors on rolling pastures which are not treated with chemical fertilizers or herbicides. The diets of pasture forage and grains are highly nutritious and free from hormones, antibiotics, and meat byproducts. We comply with animal husbandry standards established by the Animal Welfare Institute, ensuring the animals are safe, free from stress, and are able to behave naturally. There are no stuffy confinement pens or waste lagoons here.
Pigs are free to roam, root, and play in the sunshine and fresh air. The breeds we raise were especially selected for superior meat quality and hardiness for outdoor living.
Chickens are free ranging, producing delicious, nutritious meat and eggs.
Produce is grown without synthetic pesticides, weed controls, or chemical fertilizers. We believe food is a valuable gift, and shouldn't be laced with poisons!"
Please let us know if you plan to attend. Send an email indicating the number of people in your party to Lyn Palmer at lynef@yahoo.com by April 28th.
