Ithica Beef takes great care to keep our pasture and grasses in the best condition possible for our cattle, with that being their primary food source. They are supplemented daily with high quality grain, which is also used once the finishing process begins. Based on the custom cut sheets that our local processor provides us with, we pick up beef that is shrink wrapped, frozen, and USDA inspected on a monthly basis.
Chewy's Backyard Farm Pasture Raised Chicken is raised on a pasture and moved to fresh grass EVERYDAY. Our birds spend 2-3 weeks in a brooder allowing them time to develop their feathers and establish a healthy immune system. Then they are put into shelters on pasture called chicken tractors.
Chicken tractors are moved daily, never allowing the birds to sit in manure laden soil for prolong periods. If the birds ain’t movin’, then they ain’t pastured, its that simple.
Our chickens live the way chickens should live eating grass, bugs, worms, scratching in the dirt, and enjoying the fresh air and sunshine.
