Myself, Phil and my wife, Mikie are a Christian family who have chosen to home school our 4 children Zach, Chad, Lili and Belle. We have been farming here in the Sinking Creek Valley since 1993. We began, and still operate as, a cow-calf operation – selling feeder-calves at approximately 500-600 lbs into the feedlot system. We began learning about grass-finished beef in 2002, shortly we discovered we were learning something that history had already laid before us.

It didn’t take long and we were convinced that grass-finished beef was not only better for us than grain-finished, but it was actually healthy for us, and I wanted to raise enough for our family. So, I began grass-finishing beeves just for our own family consumption. Those first 3 years involved a lot of on-the-job education, including – choosing animals, finishing age, winter feed, special plantings of summer forage, and slaughtering facilities. I also continued literature study and even attended a 3 day seminar in Kentucky to learn more. The goal was and is two fold; to not only finish an animal that is good for you, but that tastes great as well. After 3 years, we finally arrived at a well-marbled, great tasting, and grass-finished beef product. Our friends began asking if we could raise some extra for sale. So the next year we selected a few more animals and it has now become a business which has grown by word of mouth. In 2006, our production surpassed our word of mouth sales – so we decided to offer public sales. So here is our website for you to learn about grass-finished beef and to learn about us.
