| Acres in Zion raises natural grassfed beef—both Scottish Highland cattle and polled Herefords. We also raise Boer goats for chevon, and Katahdin hair sheep for mutton. Rest assured we do not use antibiotics or growth hormones in our beef. They graze on the lush pastures along the Newaukum Creek near Enumclaw, and in winter are fed quality hay from a local “certified organic” farm. The animals are processed locally and cut and wrapped to your specifications. We keep both registered and non-registered stock. We also keep laying hens that free range on pasture. The chickens' diet is supplemented with grains during part of the year. We have Rhode Island Reds, Gold Lace Wyandottes, and Americaunas. We also incubate and hatch chicks to order. We use both chicken houses and chicken tractors, and have an outstanding tractor we can build to order for the local area. We may be reached by phone or by email. Acres in Zion, Eric Robb, 41633

At Agape Wells we try to raise the best beef possible, beef that is both healthy to eat and flavorful. We approach this goal in 3 ways, raising a select breed of cattle, feeding only natural grass and providing a quiet stress-free environment. First, we raise only Angus beef. Angus cattle are noted for their marbled meat, making it juicy and tender. Second, we work hard to produce pastures with a high quality mix of grasses and legumes for our cattle to eat. They drink clean pure watered from our artesian well. We supplement with minerals developed especially for our area to provide them with the nutrients they need for healthy growth. No growth hormones or antibiotics are used. Third, we maintain a low stress environment. The folks on our farm interact with the cattle in a way to ensure they are familiar and comfortable with each of us. As a result, they are easily moved from pasture to pasture with little more than a whistle from the newly opened gate. This keeps our cattle content and producing the best beef possible. We hope you will give our beef a try. Visitors to our farm are always welcome. Just give us a call. Agape Wells Farm, Cheryl and David, 10790

968-3365. Akyla Farms offers pastured chicken, pastured pork and farm fresh eggs from our small laying flock. At Akyla Farms pastures are the cornerstone of the farm and we enjoy seeing and hearing our animals happy and healthy, eating what mother nature intended them to eat. The meat chickens are housed in bottomless pens that are dragged to a fresh piece of pasture everyday following a small cow herd. In the brush, the pigs enjoy rooting in the dirt and clearing the land behind an electrified netting and are moved to a new location before they run out of green vegetation. Chickens, ducks and geese make-up the laying flock and are allowed to roam in the yard and wooded areas as they wish. Please visit our website for more information and let us know if you would like to visit one of our farm locations to hear the animals munching away or to pick up eggs.

Our market lambs will be crosses from Bluefaced Leicester, Border Leicester and then finished with a Dorper Ram. Our breeding strategy centers around sheep that do well in high rainfall areas and sheep that can gain weight easily on pasture grass (grazing in good weather and fed grass hay cut from the same field during inclement weather in a sheltered area). We do not feed our sheep grain. Autumn Hills Woollens & Sheep Co., Jeffry Seldomridge

Highway 20, Winthrop WA 98862. (509) 996-3159. Boer Goats of BrookHill raises its goats in a natural environment in the foothills just below Mt. Rainier. Our farm is covered with native trees, shrubs, plants, grasses and sedges—many of which are evergreen—and yes, lots of nutritious weeds. The foliage on our farm, together with the winter grasses and clover we plant, are sufficient to sustain our herd, even through the winters, without supplemental feeding—no grains, hormones or oats for our goats! And, in the unlikely event that we do run short of great browse, we have neighbors in front of us and on either side (total of 25 acres of wilderness-like land) that would gladly borrow our goats to help clean up some of their brush and shrubs! We maintain a grazing/browsing rotation system known Management Intensive Grazing. (In our case, I guess you would call it “Management Intensive Browsing.”) However, on our farm this means large areas with hills, stumps and other opportunities for climbing while they browse for their food—simply put, heaven for a goat! We have begun breeding our 5 does using bucks with some of the best Boer Goat genetics in the US. We should have wethers from 4 months to 12 months old available beginning in July 2006. We sell only live wethers that must be picked up at our farm, unless prior arrangements for delivery are made. We are now raising free-range, pasture fed chickens on a pre-order basis only. Orders must be placed February through March. We raise our poultry outdoors on good-quality pasture as soon as they are old enough to withstand outdoor conditions. The birds are getting a significant amount of their nourishment from growing plants as we maintain only 25 birds per acre. We move them frequently so they always have a good supply of fresh pasture and to help us keep our soil fertile. Our laying hens are fed a small amount of organic feed during winter months to enable them to continue laying eggs. We do not have an organic certification but raise our animals that way.

Earth Cycle Farm is committed to the sustainability of the ecosystem and its communities. We maintain grazing rotations that improve the health of the land while preventing soil erosion from wind and water. Our very lean beef is raised only on our own certified organic fields and pastures. Our cattle move from one lush pasture to the next throughout the growing season, and then eat our organic grass and alfalfa hay during the winter. They are not "fattened-up" with large amounts of grain or feed supplements. Rather than depend on additives and medicines, we rely on prime pastures and plenty of fresh air and sunshine to keep them healthy. Most of our butchering is done in summer and fall, when the cattle are on green pastures. The result is a lean, flavorful meat with minimal fat and no chemical additives. Your satisfaction is our goal, so we back up our beef with a money-back guarantee. Seth Williams at (509) 236-2402, offers custom cut and wrap on a fourth, half, or whole beef.

Lundeen Road SW, Centralia WA 98531. Greener Pastures Farm is an organically managed small farm raising primitive breeds of sheep. We are focusing primarily on American Soays and English Soays, but also keep a few Shetlands. These breeds are naturally lean and taste like elk. Our sheep are always on pasture; never confined to a pen, with the exception of the first few days after lambing while babies bond with their dam. Our sheep do not receive grains; only grass hay and alfalfa hay when pasture growth has slowed. Soay sheep are the most primitive breed of domesticated sheep, originating thousands of years ago on a tiny island 110 miles west of Scotland, so it's not surprising that their meat does not have that domestic "muttony" flavor, even at 3 or more years of age. We sell freezer lambs only at certain times of the year, so please call to reserve yours. We also provide breeding stock of the highest quality. Visit our informative website, or call us. We enjoy sharing information about these sheep! Greener Pastures Farm, Ronda Jemtegaard and

Happy pigs are healthy pigs and mine do not need antibiotics or hormones. Lamb and pork are available in our retail store at the farm on Lopez Island, Lopez Farmers Market, Proctor Farmers Market in Tacoma and by special arrangement. We deliver regularly to customers in Seattle, Bainbridge Island and Tacoma. Lopez Island Farm, 193

Our intention is to annually buy 8–10 beef type steers which are free of any additives. We can then enjoy watching them grow and prosper on our lush and remineralized pasture. We believe we raise quality beef because, in addition to our farm, for 30 years we have owned and operated a business, Algro Farms, which promotes Eco-Ag and Organic principles. Our products are foliar nutrients and soil amendments to remineralize and reduce soil compaction. We follow the Albrecht teachings and specialize in increasing the brix levels in all crops. In our property we have organic matter levels up to 5% using our techniques without using compost or manure. You may select the animal you want (or we can) and we will take care of the processing, which includes dry aging. We sell the animals based on hanging weight, but arrangements can be made for a live weight transaction. We have some animals left to sell and look forward to working with you.
