Alger Family Farm wants to provide people with healthy food as affordably as we can. Currently, we offer free-range eggs, pastured poultry, and lamb. Our free range hens sleep in a moveable hoophouse (to protect them from predators), which we move every morning to fresh grass. We give them scratch grains, oyster shells, kelp and salt. They are allowed out during the day so they can eat all the bugs and plant material that they desire. Our pastured poultry are kept in a brooder for 2–3 weeks depending on the weather. As soon as they are feathered out and/or it is warm enough, we put them in our moveable broiler pens. These pens allow them fresh air, grass, bugs, sunshine, and keep them protected from possums, raccoons, hawks and other predators. When they are around eight weeks old, they are ready to butcher. Our sheep only eat grass and other plants, never any grain or unnatural supplements, only salt and kelp. We never give them hormones or antibiotics. We just expanded our acreage and plan to offer "salad bar" beef and goat in the near future. Alger Family Farm, Tammy or Steve Alger, 10304

The farming plan is sustainable agriculture: row crops are certified organic; veal and beef are raised naturally on cow's milk and forage with no added hormones or subtherapeutic antibiotics; and heritage breeds (Irish Dexter Cattle and Babydoll Southdown Sheep) are raised for breeding stock and enjoyment. Historic landmarks, roadways, equipment, buildings, and plants are valued to give visitors glimpses of times gone by and current opportunities for simplicity, and are a highlight on the farm. A pair of Dexter oxen are currently in training (a new adventure). When you arrange to pick up your meat order, you can make a visit and watch our progress! Gladhour Farm’s natural beef and veal come from pure Dexters and Dexter crosses, so the cuts are smaller than typical. Some say the tenderness and flavor are subtly special and unusually delightful.

For now, totally grass-finished beef and natural veal can be ordered ahead for a completely custom-done whole-animal order, or can be bought by the half or sample package by contacting GF with your order. The meat is USDA-inspected, dry-aged, packaged and frozen. Pick up is done by arranging to meet at the locker plant.

Pasture Nectar Farm and Mercantile is located in the Ozarks of southern Missouri. Our primary product is grass. Our grass gets harvested by some lucky cows and chickens, and they turn it into lots of delectable things – the nectar: milk, cream, eggs, meat. Our Shorthorn cows produce excellent meat, milk and cream for your family. They eat only fresh grass and clover from our rotated chemical-free pastures during the growing season, and hay in the winter—never steroids, hormones, or processed feeds, no animal by-products. Our meat animals get no grain for your health and theirs. Raw milk is sold in gallon-sized plastic jugs. You are welcome to visit our squeaky-clean dairy parlor anytime. We butcher June and October while cattle are on green pasture for sweeter meat, then dry-age for 2 to 3 weeks. You can buy individual cuts any time (while quantities last) or order by the whole, half, or quarter beef. Please order early to make sure you get some. Our free-range, out-on-the-pasture hens turn our grass and bugs into delicious, omega-3 eggs. Pasture Nectar Farm and Mercantile, Eric and

On our five-generation family farm of rolling Missouri hills, tree-shaded pastures, spring-fed ponds, waterfalls, and a winding stretch of the Little Sac River, we raise all-natural 100% grass and clover-fed, pasture-finished beef cattle from a closed herd of original Black Angus stock started here 30 years ago. Those years of experience have honed to perfection a premium, natural beef (free of antibiotics, hormones, and animal by-products) that we're pleased to offer as top of the line. Pure Pasture Beef is for people with the highest standards of quality and safety, who believe that informed food choices can enhance their physical well-being and enrich their everyday lives. Pure Pasture Beef is processed locally in a USDA Missouri certified organic facility, going from farm to table. Practicing a sustainable approach to cattle management and land use here in the heart of Ozark Mountain foothills country, we rotate our cattle from one pasture to the next on a regular basis so they're grazing on clean, fresh grass (along with roaming bands of white-tailed deer and wild turkey). We cut and bale our own red clover, alfalfa, orchard grass and brome that we feed as hay in the winter; we feed the salt and minerals; we monitor all animal health; we check the water; we wean the babies. We do it all ourselves. Nothing gets between us and our cattle. A farmer his whole life, Jim practiced law for thirty years to help support the cattle habit he's had since being born into a dairy family over fifty years ago. As President and CEO of the International Association of Fairs and Expositions, Jim writes and speaks frequently about agricultural issues here and abroad. Nancy, a Seattle transplant and former college English teacher, supervises the daily farm operations, takes care of the kids, and raises Missouri Fox Trotting horses. Savor the flavor of excellence—call or e-mail for information about ordering our beef by the eighth, quarter, half, or whole. We ship as economically as possible by Fed Ex or UPS.

Our chickens are raised free range and housed in portable huts at night that are rotated in the pasture. Chickens are humanely processed on the farm and aged before being vacuum packed and frozen. Organic chicken can be raised by special request. Our pork is raised on pasture in movable pens and frequently rotated to fresh grass. They are fed commercial grain without additives and garden vegetables that are over produced. They are processed in a USDA inspected facility. Our grass fed beef is raised on pastures rich in fescue, bluegrass and legumes. In the winter they are fed quality hay from a local farmer and never receive any grain. They are harvested when the grass is tender in the late spring and late fall. They are processed in a USDA inspected facility. We encourage you to buy your food directly from a local farmer and invest your food dollar in a family farm rather than a grocery chain or a meat packing conglomerate.

E-mail: chads@sockets.net SteelMeadow Farm is located between Ava and Mansfield, about an hour east of Springfield. In the rolling Ozark hills, we live in a lovely green valley nestled between clover-rich fields where we raise grass-fed Irish Dexter beef cattle and Spanish-Kiko meat goats. The Irish Dexters are a dual purpose cattle (triple purpose if you include using them as oxen) and are registered. Dexters may be purchased as breeding stock or steers-on-the-hoof when available. Their smaller size makes them the perfect choice for the family freezer, and their gentle, docile nature makes them wonderful additions to the farm as well. Our meat goats are of two Spanish lines with hearty Kiko influence. The goats grow quickly, are a nice size and thrive by clearing woods, controlling and removing weeds and generally working hard on our farm. We will sell some does and bucks for your own breeding stock, or sell young bucklings-on-the-hoof for delicious cabrito. There are many local processors available for your convenience. We do not use routine antibiotics, stimulants or growth hormones. Our animals are given free-choice organic kelp meal and salt to round out their pasture/forage-based diet. In the winter we feed our animals hay cut from our own fields, fertilized only by the animals themselves. Please see our website or call us for more information. If you come and visit our farm we will probably send you home with a dozen eggs from our prolific yard hens! SteelMeadow Farm, Mary Jane Phifer, RR 2 Box
