WE ARE A LIVESTOCK, CUT FLOWER, & CROP FARM
Pasture Song Farm was named for our admiration and love of pasture. The sound of tall grass shifting and swaying in the wind is music to our ears and brings feelings of awe and contentment. The quiet beauty of the pasture song is emblematic of the goodness that grassland brings to land and to people.
The main component of this goodness is the regenerative nature of pasture. Grasses and legumes, the primary components of pasture, act symbiotically to sequester carbon into the soil and feed soil life. This builds robust and healthy soil, and is critical to the success of our crop rotations and ultimately to our success as farmers.
We are committed to farming in a way that prioritizes environmental, social, and economic sustainability.

Pastured Livestock-- better for them, better for you
During the growing season we raise our livestock outdoors, on pasture and cover crops. We raise pigs, meat chickens, and a small cattle herd. In the winter, we raise some of the pigs in a deep bedded hoop barn, while others are still raised outdoors. We focus on providing our animals with an environment conducive to their health and happiness.

Specialty Cut Flowers
We started growing cut flowers to generate additional income so Clara could work full time on the farm. This side business has developed into a full fledged operation that we've since honed, growing a wide variety of specialty cut flowers with a focus on quality and vibrancy. We grow the flowers in a way that focuses on soil and plant health, using primarily compost that we make on the farm to nourish them.

Crops
We grow corn and small grains that we feed to our livestock, and the hay we use as bedding and feed, or sell. Our crops are grown similarly to our flowers, using ecological agriculture principles, such as feeding the soil to feed the crops via composts and cover crops.
