Not all beef is created equal. 🐂

One of the things we love about Highland × Angus cattle is how they combine the best qualities of both breeds—rich Highland flavor, Angus tenderness and marbling, and exceptional overall quality.

We believe knowing where your food comes from matters. That’s why we’re passionate about raising cattle right here on our family farm, where we can be involved every step of the journey.

Everyone keeps asking what’s in our chicken feed mix… so here’s the recipe and why we use it. 👀🐔

When we started fermenting our feed, we also added a blend of herbs and spices to the mix. 🌿

We add this custom blend to every 50 lb bag of feed before fermenting:

The recipe includes:

🌿 1 cup coarse black pepper (3.7 oz)
🌿 1 cup cayenne pepper (3.7 oz)
🌿 ½ cup garlic powder (3.4 oz)
🌿 1 cup red chili pepper flakes (2.4 oz)
🌿 2½ cups oregano (2 oz)
🌿 ¼ cup ground flaxseed (0.8 oz)

Mix ingredients in a gallon size ziplock bag and store until you are ready to ok use.

🌿 Oregano – contains naturally occurring compounds with antimicrobial properties and is commonly used to support flock wellness.

🧄 Garlic Powder – traditionally used to support gut health, discourage certain external parasites, and help reduce manure odor.

⚫ Black Pepper – contains piperine, which may support digestion and nutrient utilization.

🌶️ Cayenne Pepper & Red Chili Flakes – contain capsaicin, which may help discourage rodents and other pests from feeding on stored feed.

🌱 Ground Flaxseed – provides omega-3 fatty acids and may help increase the omega-3 content of eggs.

This isn’t a magic mix or a substitute for veterinary care - This is the blend we’ve chosen for our flock here at Hidden Acres, and it’s become part of our fermented feed routine. ❤️🌿

Some people talk about making a difference. Some people quietly show up and do it. 💛

Hurricane Michael destroyed our local Girls Inc. building in 2018 but this organization never stopped pouring into the young women in our community providing leadership programs, STEM education, and mentorship.

Wanting to give back in a meaningful way, Matthew and Brian donated their time and hard work to build a covered outdoor classroom space and redevelop the beach volleyball area — creating more opportunities for these girls to learn, grow, and thrive.

The world needs more people willing to build things that matter. 🤍

Sometimes healing has hooves 💜. A few weeks ago, we experienced the heartbreak of losing one of our baby goats. It was hard on all of us, especially our little girl.

The Thayer family heard about our loss and reached out with the kindest gift imaginable… this sweet baby goat. Watching her smile again has meant more than words can say.

We are beyond grateful for the kindness, compassion, and generosity shown to our family. God is good, and we are truly blessed. 💜
