Every Living Thing Farm
Raising Food to a Higher Standard. That is the mission statement that Josiah and Shyanna from Every Living Thing Farm live by. After watching a moving food documentary several years ago, the couple began to contemplate the meat they consumed and the quality of life the animals endured.
This struggle turned to motivation and a desire to do better. That they could start living out their beliefs by providing a chance for animals to live in their natural environment and enjoy life. This led them to buying a farm with plenty of wooded areas for pigs to grow, root, play, and sleep. While it wasn't easy at first, their reward came when they tasted the forest raised pork. Shyanna says it brought them joy knowing their pigs had a great quality of lilfe. Josiah also grows all of their microgreens for the farm.
Every Living Thing Farm has worked hard since those beginning days on improving their farming methods to meet the demand for their forest raised pork. They use non-GMO feed and chemical free practices. This week they have pork fresh from the processor in a wide variety of cuts. Bone-in chops, BACON, sausage,ribs,and a wide variety of brats!
Market friends, get to know your farmers! We can't say it enough. It's the connection with our great market customers that helps our farmers through those tough days. Ask questions, our farmers are passionate people who are eager to tell their stories. Find Josiah and Shyanna this week and talk to them about their pork and their farm (they also are huge fans of The Office, watching all episodes 3 times!).
