C & D Family Farms, LLC is dedicated
to raising hogs in their natural environment. Our happy hogs
are raised on pasture and in wooded areas where they can root and
play and be hogs. They
graze on pasture designed for them or eat leaves and acorns from
their large wooded pens.
Hogs are very social animals and are
kept in herds so they can socialize and prosper. Happy
hogs mean great pork.
WHAT MAKES OUR HOGS NATURAL: We simply do not
use Sub-Therapeutic Antibiotics, Hormones or Animal By-Products.
Here at C & D Family Farms, we use
a special feed blend by Hubbard Feeds from their Homestead line
that does not contain sub-therapeutic antibiotics, growth hormones
or animal by-products so none of this is passed on to our consumers.
We focus our efforts on raising healthy, natural, and happy hogs.
We sell by the whole, half, or individual cuts;
visit our website for details. Our pork is also available at several
farmers markets, grocery stores and restaurants. (See Indiana
Beyond the Farm for specific locations.)

grass-fed beef sold by 1/4, 1/2 or whole.

ending up in us is for quality NOT quantity.

up at the farm or UPS shipping can be arranged.

Schacht Fleece & Meat Farm is a family
owned and operated farm located in Bloomington, IN. We raise Icelandic
sheep, chicken and turkey on our lush pastures.
Each lamb is born
on pasture in early spring and spends the summer and fall grazing
along side its mother. All of our sheep have constant access to
fresh air, water, sunshine, grass or hay (in winter), minerals
and organic kelp. We do not feed grain to our sheep. Lambs reach
butcher weight in mid-October and produce a tender mild-flavored
meat.
Raising pastured chickens and turkeys is a
wonderful complement to our flock of sheep. The birds arrive to
the farm at one day of age. They are raised on our pastures in
our bottomless poultry huts that we rotate daily to fresh forage.
They pick at the grass, eat bugs and have constant access to locally
raised grain and organic kelp as well as fresh water, air and sunshine.
Our management practices allow us to raise
our animals naturally in a healthy environment without the use
of pesticides, chemicals, growth hormones or antibiotics. Because
we believe in local patronage and the need for a relationship between
farmer and customer, meat sales are available only through on farm
pick up. Please visit our website
for further information about our management practices and available
meat products.
