supporting local

We are passionate about supporting local agriculture and promoting healthy, sustainable food sources. That's why we choose to shop at local farms and encourage others to do the same. Here's why local farms have become an integral part of our food journey:

Mission and Standards:

Local farms have a clear mission and high standards when it comes to working the land and caring for their animals. We believe in regenerative practices that prioritize the well-being of the animals, leading to healthier products for us to consume. After all, we are what we eat!

Transparency and Knowledge:

When you shop at local farms, you have the opportunity to connect directly with farmers who are more than willing to answer any questions you may have. From what the animals are fed to their care, you can have peace of mind knowing where your food comes from. We believe in the importance of understanding and ensuring the purity of the food we consume.

Truly Clean Sources:

Unfortunately, many grocery stores don't offer truly clean sources of meats, milk/dairy, or eggs. That's why we have made the switch to sourcing our food directly from local farms. By doing so, we ensure that our food is as pure as possible, free from unnecessary additives and chemicals.

Local Farms

Here are some local farms in the VA  area that we trust:

  • Hilltop Farm

    Hillsboro, VA

    Offers a variety of pasture raised beef and pork products

    Hill Top Farm is a family farm that Trent and his family took over three years ago! The property has been around since 1787 and is full of charm, history, and quiet beauty. What once was an old dairy farm and orchard has since become a thriving and lively pig and cattle farm! Both of their families have farming backgrounds, so this way of life came to them naturally and they were able to pick up where they left off growing up.

    Originally, Hill Top was only selling their animals as breeders, but eventually decided to start giving pork and beef to our friends and family - and now to you! Hilltop's family was tired of only having poor-quality meat options at the grocery stores and not knowing what exactly was going into our food, so they (thankfully!) decided to make a change. By raising their own livestock and having a say in every step of the process, Hilltop is able to ensure their products are high-quality, healthy, and safe!
