Hello and Welcome to Back Forty Acres!

Do you believe pasture-raised poultry and grass-fed livestock are healthier to eat?

Do you support sustainable farming practices? Do CAFOs frighten you?

Is supporting local food producers important to you, minimizing your carbon footprint and bolstering the local economy?

Do you appreciate the "old breeds" of poultry and livestock? Do you want to experience them on your dining table, as your ancestors did?

Or do you simply just crave good-tasting food?

Make Back Forty Acres your local food supplier!

One last thing: We are sold out of many of our 2008 products. But don't let that stop you from ordering! We'll put you on the reservation list for possible cancellations and/or for 2009 product.

** Alerts **

We are sold out of Thanksgiving Turkeys! Thanks to all that made it a successful season!

We plan to increase the flock next year. We have added new pasture pens to the "fleet" for a total of 10 and we are considering a turkey enclosure.

Still need something special for Thanksgiving? "Thanksgiving Rabbit" may not be traditional, but it sure is tasty! We have some available - give us a call (or email).
