Animals
At Cure Organic Farm we love our animals. They have names and personalities and are truly loved by our crew. We take our job as animal husbands very seriously and strive to provide our animals with the very best feed and living conditions possible.
Philosophy: We believe in holistic animal management which includes pasture raising our animals, and using rotational grazing to promote soil health, microbial life and healthy grass. All of our animals receive certified organic feed, and lots of organic vegetable leftovers to keep them happy and healthy. We only give animals antibiotics in the rare case that they are sick.
The farm is home to several honey bee hives, over 150 laying hens and ducks, heritage pigs, Rambouillet sheep that are raised for meat and wool and Cornish Cross chickens raised for meat. Additionally we purchase grassfed beef, raised by our neighbors the Sawhills, on Shadow Butte Lake Ranch.
