About Dutch Meadows Farm
Three generations of family farming, more than twenty years of farming with nature.
Rooted in Family
The Stoltzfus family has owned Dutch Meadows Farm for three generations. For more than twenty years we have farmed organically and regeneratively, putting creation, health, and community first in everything we do.
Farming with Nature
Together with a group of small, sustainable family farms, we raise food without harmful pesticides, chemicals, or artificial growth hormones.
Our livestock are treated with respect. They spend most of their lives outdoors on pasture, in calm, low-stress surroundings, the way animals were meant to live.
Many Hands, One Vision
Each farmer in our network brings their own talents and vision. Together we raise pastured livestock and produce traditional, nutrient-dense, raw, and organic foods, which we pack and deliver straight to your door or neighborhood pickup spot.
When you support local farms, you help preserve sustainable farming traditions, protect the land, and build a healthier future for the next generation.
Customers tell us our 100% grass-fed raw milk is naturally sweet and smooth, and that our grass-fed beef is unlike anything they have tried before.That flavor starts with how our food is raised. Here are the standards behind it.
The Standards We Live By
Every product in our store is labeled with the standards it meets, so you know exactly how your food was raised and made. Tap any protocol to learn what it means to us.
100% Grassfed
100% of the diet of our grassfed animals consists of freshly grazed pasture and stored grasses (hay or grass baleage). Free-choice minerals are also part of the diet for the health of the livestock. No grain, ever.
Raw
Raw products are never heated above 105°F during processing. For our milk, that means the only processing we do is cool it down and put it in the bottle. How fresh is that? All raw milk is tested for bacteria, coliform, and pathogens, and some raw products have live, active enzymes and good bacteria added. Raw dairy is known for its higher levels of beneficial bacteria and enzymes. As with any raw food there is always some risk of harmful bacteria, which we work hard to keep minimal through our farming practices and cooling systems.
Pasture Raised
As the seasons allow, our animals are raised in open pasture and fields as nature intended, with fresh air, sunshine, and room to move and forage.
No Hormones or Antibiotics
Our animals are never administered growth hormones for faster growth, and they are never given antibiotics.
Chemical Free
Raised naturally without the use of harmful pesticides and herbicides. The farmer's land is never sprayed with harmful chemicals, only the natural, beyond organic fertilizers needed to build healthy soil.
GMO Free
Raised naturally without the use of GMOs (genetically modified organisms), in the feed or in the finished product.
Soy Free
Raised naturally without soy. Even certified organic standards allow soy in animal feed, so this protocol goes a step further for families avoiding it.
Corn Free
Raised and produced completely free of corn. Great for those with corn allergies or anyone who simply prefers a corn free diet.
Nitrite/Nitrate Free
Processed without added synthetic nitrites or nitrates. These additives have been known to cause indigestion and other issues for some people.
Beyond Expectations
Our goal is to go beyond what you expect, in every bottle, cut, and delivery. We believe small groups of people working together can change the world, and that it starts one meal at a time.
