About Us
Autumn Grove Farm is a 150 acre farm located in Farmville, Virginia. It was established in January 2000 with quality and humane principles in mind. We operate
a clean facility and the health & quality of our animals, live and dressed, is a top priority. We want to provide the consumer (to best of our ability)
a quality product. We sell the quality we want for our own family. We are not perfect, but we certainly try very hard to be conscientious and humane farmers.
We specialize primarily in beef and turkey (click the links above for details). We are currently raising a small flock of Narragansett heritage breed turkeys which are on albc-usa.org's "threatened" list. These birds have received excellent reviews by many chefs and considered hardy and tasty. We may be offering a choice between the Bourbon Red and Narragansett for 2010. Farm fresh chicken eggs are on the 2010 agenda as well. Also, we are currently in negotiations with several USDA beef processing facilities so that we may offer our beef packaged and available in smaller quantities. The cattle, turkeys, and donkeys have free range of the pastures and live in a very clean, peaceful and tranquil environment without stress. We take pride in the living conditions of all the animals and welcome you to visit the farm and see the source of your food from farm directly to your table. We believe strongly in supporting local farmers and locally grown food and believe we supply a superior product. We are not organic certified and do not plan to do so, we feel our operation is even better. The term "organic" has been so watered down, in our opinion at Autumn Grove Farm, and offers somewhat of a false sense of security to those seeking quality food for their families. We encourage everyone to research and education themselves on the guidelines of the "organic" food label and industry foods. While we applaud anyone who is trying to improve the quality of the food they offer, "organic" beef or turkeys can and are still raised without true pasture living. They can be cage-confined the majority of their life without access to clean air, sunshine (vitamin D), exercise, a natural diet of grass, insects & bugs, and the opportunity to be the wonderful animals they are. |
