I had the opportunity to venture out again to visit another farm. I think one of the most fun things about these posts is visiting the farms. Today I’d like to introduce you to Graise farm; this farm is operated by Tiffany and Andy in Faribault, Minnesota. The name of their farm is an acronym for Grass-fed Raised Humanely Animals in a Sustainable Environment. Tiffany and Andy started the farm in 2012 on over 20 acres of land. Tiffany actually grew up on this farmstead when where her family raised dairy cows.
Graise Farm also raises pastured pork. You can purchase either 1/2 or a whole hog from Graise Farm. Their pigs have access to pasture and woodlands year-round and they’re also fed certified organic feed. The pigs are bred and raised on their farm. The day that I visited, the pigs were enjoying the mud after a fresh morning rain!
As with any farm now a days, there have been challenges along the way, but I believe with the support of our communities, we can encourage these young farmers to stay the course and provide healthy, local, sustainably raised food for us in the community.
Be blessed, be a blessing, and support local farmers,
Heather
