Harvest Acres, LLC

We raise a limited number of hogs, turkeys, chickens, and rabbits and anticipate the addition of sheep in the near future. Breeds are chosen from the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy list of rare and endangered livestock and the Slow Food USA Ark of Taste.  Our Buckeye chickens, Midget White and Chocolate Turkeys, and Mulefoot Hogs are all currently listed as critical. For livestock that means fewer than 200 annual registrations in the United States and estimated global population less than 2,000 and for poultry, fewer than 500 breeding birds in the United States, with five or fewer primary breeding flocks (50 birds or more), and globally endangered.

Animals are raised naturally, following humane animal treatment guidelines and our farm is in the process of becoming a certified producer. Meats are processed at USDA approved plants that practice humane animal treatment, and we are actively searching for a processor certified in humane animal handling.
