How it all began
Cedar Meadow Swine was established as a farm when my (Joy's) grandpa purchased the farm in 1955 after he was unable to buy several other properties. He based the farm around producing hogs, in conjunction with cattle to add diversity to the business; quite different from the typical dairy farm of the area. The cedar meadow above the barn was used to house the sows and hence the farm was named “Cedar Meadow Swine”. The farm is now in its second generation and Cedar Meadow Meats has been established as its retail division.
Sustainability
Our goal is to manage what we have sustainably in order to enhance our soils and minimize our carbon footprint. We utilize strategies such as cover cropping, not tilling, managing our water run-off, and creating buffers along our waterways. We take pride in the fact that we use our livestock’s manure to feed the crops, the crops to feed our livestock, and our livestock to feed us as well as many other families. As farmers and stewards of the land we view this as a key responsibility.
Farm to Fork
Farm to fork flavor far outpaces that found in the grocery store. How the animal was fed, the quality of the cut, and even the butcher all make the difference. In fact, did you know that the highest premium cuts on the market are sold overseas and never make it to the grocery cooler? The best beef eating experience can sometimes only be found by sourcing your meat privately.
