About Pichola Farms
Our story, values, and commitment to sustainable farming
Our Story
Pichola Farms was established with a simple yet profound vision: to create a sustainable farm that respects the land, animals, and community. What began as a small family operation has grown into a thriving organic farm dedicated to producing the highest quality food while preserving the environment for future generations.
Our journey started when we realized the importance of knowing where our food comes from and how it's produced. We wanted to create a place where animals could live naturally, crops could grow without harmful chemicals, and people could connect with the source of their food.
Today, Pichola Farms spans over 50 acres of lush pastures and fertile soil, home to our happy livestock and seasonal vegetables. We remain committed to our founding principles while continuously improving our sustainable farming practices.
Our Farming Practices
At Pichola Farms, we believe that healthy soil creates healthy plants, which feed healthy animals and ultimately, healthy people. Our farming practices reflect this holistic approach:
- We raise our animals on pasture, allowing them to express their natural behaviors
- We rotate our livestock to promote soil health and prevent overgrazing
- We grow our vegetables without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers
- We practice water conservation and responsible waste management
- We prioritize biodiversity by maintaining natural habitats on our land
These practices not only produce superior food but also help sequester carbon, protect water quality, and preserve wildlife habitat.
Our Cows
Our grass-fed cows roam freely on lush pastures, producing rich, nutritious milk. We never use hormones or unnecessary antibiotics, ensuring the purest dairy products for your family.
Our Lambs
Our lambs are raised on open pastures where they graze on a diverse diet of grasses and herbs. This natural approach results in exceptionally tender and flavorful meat that's ethically produced.
Our Chickens
Our free-range chickens spend their days foraging for insects and plants, supplemented with organic feed. This natural diet and lifestyle produce eggs with vibrant orange yolks and exceptional flavor.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability isn't just a buzzword at Pichola Farms—it's the foundation of everything we do. We're committed to farming practices that will allow future generations to continue producing food on this land for centuries to come.
Environmental Stewardship
We protect our soil, water, and air through regenerative farming practices that build rather than deplete natural resources.
Animal Welfare
We provide our animals with the conditions they need to thrive, respecting their natural behaviors and treating them with care.
