Happy cows grazing at Maple Wind Farm.
|
At Maple Wind Farm, all of our animals are raised on pasture, and our cows and sheep are produced entirely on grass. What are the health, ecological, and societal benefits of a pasture-based farm?
Read below:
- The use of intensive rotational grazing builds soils and increases diversity and fertility, while reducing erosion.
- Animals are allowed to express their natural behavior, reducing stress and resulting in higher quality healthy products.
- Animals are moved daily to new pasture, naturally distributing their manure and thereby drastically reducing food consumption.
- Grassfed meats have reduced fat content.
- Healthy essential fats such as Omega-3 and Conjugated Linoleic Acids (CLA's) are present in higher concentrations in grassfed meats.
- Food is sold locally. As consumers develop relationships with Maple Wind Farm, they gain an awareness and appreciation of the origin and production methods of their food.
- Pasture-based farming allows small family farms to thrive.
