Field of Faithfulness Farm
Pasture Grazed
~ Sustainably Raised ~ Organically Fed Dairy Goat Products
The new
season has officially started at Field of Faithfulness Farm! Though our underlying principles remain the
same, we have a new name and a modified approach as we continue implementing
the vision for our farm. We are excited
about the positive impact we hope to achieve for the health of our animals and
the quality of our products.
At the
forefront, we have transitioned all our dairy goats to soy-free, certified organic
feed. A recent scientific study by the
University of Naples (Italy)[1]
found that dams fed genetically engineered soybeans exhibited changes in the composition
of their milk and the weight of their kids was significantly reduced. With the increasing number of articles
highlighting the negative potential and realized impacts of genetically
modified foods and pesticides on humans and animals, we have turned to organic
feed.
This season
will also mark one year since we implemented a free range foraging program for
our goats. Last year we seeded two plots
with summer and winter pasture mixes designed to meet the dietary needs of
dairy goats. Our goats enjoy foraging
the fresh pastures daily.
Due to
popular demand, we have increased the number of layer hens, whose eggs will be
available for purchase in the fall. Our
hens are also fed soy-free, certified organic grains.
We are
grateful for our customers’ support over the past several years, and we are delighted
to continuing implementing this vision so we can provide you and other local families
with quality products.
