Stonesthrow Farm is continuing the tradition of naturally-raised, low-input farming in a new location, Chattaroy. We would be honored to be YOUR family's farm. We are passionate about restoring soil health by increasing the organic matter in it through techniques such as bale-feeding, rotational grazing, and composting. We use modern techniques, such as soil testing and forage analysis, to give feedback on the slow process of improving soil health. Better soil health supports healthier forage, which will in turn, lead to higher nutritional values in grass-based meat that our customers love.

Grass Based: “Grass based” means fresh grass pasture during the spring and summer, moving to our own low input hay (no spray, no irrigation, no chemical fertilizer) through fall and winter. Salt and mineral supplement provided free choice. No growth hormones used. Allowed to do “sheep things”: live in a flock, laze around in the sunshine, and mosey around the pasture in search of…well, the things sheep long for. Lambs are raised in a flock setting with their dams and herd sire, guarded by a pair of vigilant llamas, eat grass and shrubbery, and play on their tractor tires.
