We raise pork and poultry sustainably, giving high regard to the environment in which these animals are raised. You're invited to know your farmer, know your food. Visit Peaceful Meadows Farm in Carthage, NC (Moore County) and see why we are the natural choice. Our aspiration to produce pork, chicken, turkey and eggs grew from our desire to feed our own family wholesome food that has been ethically and sustainably raised. Like many people today, our awareness has grown of the oftentimes deplorable conditions of modern, commercially raised livestock. With so much attention being given in recent years to the profuse amount of medications and vaccinations that are prominent in commercially raise livestock, as a family we took a step back and looked at how we could feed our family differently by raising our own animals to our standards. Through education and research we have found models for raising quality pork, poultry and eggs in a fashion that allows hogs to root through the soil, turning it up as they find acorns; that allows broiler chickens to move around with freedom to peck, scratch and sun bathe; egg layers access to fresh air and sunshine while protecting them from predation. We believe that these models allow us the opportunity to not only decrease the incidences of loss but also to see a benefit of an overall healthier animal that has no need for vaccinations, medications and other chemicals to promote growth. Livestock raised by these models are supplemented with grains that they may eat free choice. Peaceful Meadows Farm NC calls 22 acres in the heart of Moore County home. The original home was built in 1850 and still stands on the property as well. The farm plays an important role in the community for agri-tourism and is open for 'A Day at the Farm' which is an open house on the first Sunday of each month starting in May and ending in December. Private tours are also available by appointment year round. Education isn't just for the class-room, so if you are a teacher, home-schooling parent, Boy or Girl Scout leader or even a grand parent that wants to show your grand child the "good ol' days" then contact us for our "Critters in the Classroom- An Agricational Experience!" opportunities.
