Heritage
We have tweaked the farm name slightly - it is now "Elk Springs Heritage Farm." The intent of the name change is to more accurately reflect the vision of our farm to preserve heritage breeds of farm animals (no Holsteins or franken-chickens here!) as well as our intent to pass along our Christian, agrarian and self-sufficient visions to our chidren and our children's children. HOOAH!

Just curious - what's wrong with Holsteins?

Holsteins have been bred for quantity (similar to conventional chicken house chickens) not quality...I suppose you could overcome that on a small farm, but by breeding and raising cows for max quantity you shorten their life span and adversely affect their health (usually resulting in need for antibiotics, etc). Additionally, they are very large which means they eat more and could be more difficult to handle. I'm sure there are some things I've missed...Steve
