Maple Wind Farm offers 100% grass fed beef,pasture-raised pork, chicken, turkey and eggs. At Maple Wind Farm, all of our animals are raised on pasture, and our cows are produced entirely on grass. What are the health, ecological, and societal benefits of a pasture-based farm?
* The use of intensive rotational grazing builds soils and increases diversity and fertility, while reducing erosion.
* Animals are allowed to express their natural behavior, reducing stress and resulting in higher quality healthy products.
* Animals are moved daily to new pasture, naturally distributing their manure and thereby drastically reducing food consumption.
* Grass fed meats have reduced fat content.
* Healthy essential fats such as Omega-3 and Conjugated Linoleic Acids (CLA’s) are present in higher concentrations in grass fed meats.
* Food is sold locally. As consumers develop relationships with Maple Wind Farm, they gain an awareness and appreciation of the origin and production methods of their food.
* Pasture-based farming allows small family farms to thrive.
* We use pasture-raised animals to build the soils that produce our tasty vegetables. Read our story for more information about Maple Wind Farm’s pasture-based philosophy on our website.
