Our Natural Meat Products
At
White Egret Farm we raise our beef, pigs, and turkeys in a time honored
small farm tradition. We feed, water and attend our animals by
hand. Our animals are fed no hormones, antibiotics, growth
promoters, or sulfites, and our turkeys are not injected with
self-basting additives.
Our meat animals graze
organically managed pastures and their manure is returned to our fields
in a cycle which replenishes the organic matter in our soil and
supports the growth of the natural bacteria who are responsible for
mineral cycling. Fields rich in microbial growth resist the
effects of drought and erosion, and provide essential nutrients for our
forage plants. By consuming forage plants, grazing animals return vital
minerals, nutrients, and microorganisms to the soil for the next growth
cycle. Without the aid of grazing, essential minerals can be
"locked-up" in dead plant material for years, especially in dry
climates.
In addition to recycling the manure, all
the whey from our cheese making processes is fed to our pigs.
This whey contains millions of probiotic bacteria which create healthy
pigs who then need no medication to enhance their growth. As a result,
our meat products are much more flavorful, juicy, and healthful
than comparable products mass produced in crowded feedlots.
