Grassfed dairy offering raw milk herdshares. Members of the Raw Milk Association of Colorado. They also offer 100 percent grassfed beef, pastured pork, 100 percent grassfed lamb, and pasture-raised eggs. Though not Certified Organic, they strive to go above and beyond organic principles. Use of the holistic management model, short-duration, high-intensity grazing followed by long recovery times for the plants is proving to improve degraded landscapes, build soil, and sequester carbon. Animals are humanely raised within family groups on pasture with clean mountain water. Find them at Crested Butte farmers markets. See other places where you can find products from this farm.
