Heritage Farms is located in the beautiful Cocolalla Valley in the Idaho Panhandle. Our animals have a symbiotic relationship with the pastures on which they graze, each feeding the other without chemical inputs to either.
While most chickens are raised in 100% confinement, we've found that pasturing our birds adds quality while making farming more environmentally friendly. On our pastures, there's an entire ecosystem geared towards absorbing manure, eliminating pollution. The addition of fresh green plants to the chickens' diet adds quite a bit of flavor to the meat and eggs, while the lack of crowding makes health problems uncommon. Free range eggs not only taste better and have darker yolks, but they are certainly higher in vitamins and have a better Omega 3/Omega 6 balance than ordinary eggs.
Our Grazing Program ensures that our cattle are always grazing on lush green fresh grass, while at the same time replacing the broad spectrum nutrients they are removing. Every few days the cattle are moved to fresh pasture, and replaced by chickens, which then scatter the beef fertilizer while adding their own variety and controlling fly and bug populations. The chickens also convert the grass to luscious natural meat and eggs for your dining pleasure. You can find out more about the benefits of eating meat from grass-fed animals at www.eatwild.com.
Through our Herd Share program you can receive milk from your own Dairy Cow, lovingly cared for and milked for you twice daily. Check out www.realmilk.com for more information.
We offer Free Range Eggs and Dairy Cow Boarding year around as well as high quality Grass Finished Beef and Broiler/Fryer Chickens in season. Beef is sold by the whole, half, or quarter, or frozen by the package. Call for availability.
Visitors are always welcome at Heritage Farms; we love to give you and your family a “Farm Experience” tailored to your tastes. Children love to gather eggs, go for a hay ride and pet the milk cows. Sometimes there is a calf that they can bottle feed. Call to make arrangements.
