Ulrich Family Farm

All animals rotate through 20 acres of pasture and woods, and the farm uses managed rotational grazing to improve land and maximize nutrition from available forages. No antibiotics, hormones, or animal by-products are used in raising meat animals, though any animal requiring treatment is removed from the butcher group rather than left to suffer. Pigs are fed a custom mix of local non-GMO grains and milk from fellow Kansas farmers, with no soy in the feed; seasonal additions include apples, pumpkins, alfalfa, and garden produce. Sows farrow in open pasture or small shelters without farrowing crates, and piglets are handled from birth. Hogs are processed at Paradise Locker Meats in Trimble, MO, a family-owned facility the farm describes as certified humane and animal welfare approved.
