Beyond-organic, super nutrient-dense foods. Brought to you by Back to Earth Farms, a group of three small, family-owned regenerative Amish farms in Lancaster, PA.
About the Farm Family
The farming team is made of three Amish men, their wives, and their children. Their families are living simply on the land, and they practice responsible stewardship, caring for and rotating their livestock through their green pastures. Their farm-fresh foods have brought healing to their families; they are now dedicated to providing these same health-filled, hand-crafted foods to you and your family.
How The Animals Are Raised
The farm's livestock are raised using regenerative practices (such as rotational grazing, long rest periods for grass, and prioritizing soil health). The animals are moved daily to fresh, lush green pastures (in season). In the winter, their diets are supplemented with organic alfalfa hay. They are never given hormones, antibiotics, vaccines, or chemical de-wormers; instead, they have natural immunity; they flourish thanks to the farm's pasture-filled grazing program. All livestock is processed carefully and humanely, on a small-scale, either at the farm, or a short distance from the farm.
