About Us
We are the Arnold family and we’re on a journey to live life to the full in the healthiest, most responsible way we can.
Our family farm is located near Fredericksburg Texas. Here we grow as much of our own food as we can, plus some extra for you! We raise a large garden, beef, pork, and chickens. It’s a lot of work but totally worth it!
We focus on managing our farm with regenerative practices. That means rotating our animals through the pastures and then allowing the plants to regrow and reseed.
Our first priority is soil health because the health of all our animals, and ourselves, depends upon it! We do not use protein tubs, conventional mineral, Ivermectin, Permetherin, or vaccines. If required for a very sick sow or boar we may use antibiotics but we never use them for any “growers” or animals used for meat. We do not use any synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms. (The reason I say “synthetic” is because we do use natural versions like Neem oil, garlic oil, and other essential oils when needed.)
Our animals generally do not require conventional preventions or remedies because they are healthy in the first place. We choose breeding stock with excellent genetics for our environment and administer apple cider vinegar, baking soda, ancient mineral salt, and clay.
-Apple cider vinegar, as you probably know, is amazing. The pro and pre-biotics present feed and replenish the healthy bacteria the gut.
-Baking soda helps to keep mammals in an alkaline state which resists disease
-Ancient mineral salt deposits provide macro and micro minerals that are unpolluted with microplastics and/or heavy metals because they were deposited thousands of years ago. Our’s comes from underground salt reserves in Kansas.
-Natural clay to detox any atmospheric contaminants
