How we named our Farm & Beautiful Artwork in the Meadow

We are a family who loves the Lord and we wanted to make sure that when we named our farm, somehow we could find a name that would honor the Lord.

My mom Rebecca actually was the one who came up with the name and I am so thankful she did as it’s always felt like the perfect name.

I asked her to share with you how she came up with calling us “The Maker’s Meadow.”

“When it came time to naming our farm several years ago, our family wanted a name that brought glory to the Lord! We wanted to acknowledge that it’s all because of HIM that we can do this. We wanted it to somehow reflect that we were raising animals closer to the way they were created to thrive.

I liked the word meadow because to me it portrays picturesque grassy acres with wild plants and wild flowers, bees buzzing among the flowers, birds singing in the tall branching plants, and the sweet-green scent of the sun-warmed grasses.

I also like the alliteration and wanted the name to have a fairly smooth flow when spoken.”

I thought it would also be perfect to show you some beautiful summer photos recently taken by my sister Anna representing the images that inspired my mom.

Have a Blessed Day!

From Soil to Supper: A Turkey’s Journey on a Regenerative Farm

On a regenerative farm like ours, turkeys are more than a holiday centerpiece.

Regenerative livestock farming is built on a foundation of respect—for the animal, the soil, the ecosystem, and ultimately, the eater.

Know Your Beef: Understanding the Difference Between Our Premium and Standard Offerings

If you've been following our journey, you know that transparency and trust are at the heart of everything we do here at The Maker's Meadow. As more folks look closely at where their food comes from, I want to take a moment to explain the key differences between our Premium and Standard beef offerings. While both are far removed from conventional feedlot beef, they’re not the same—and that’s intentional. Here’s what you need to know: 🥩 Premium Beef Raised Right Here on Our Farm Our Premium beef is the gold standard—regeneratively raised by our own hands, with full control over every step of the process. These animals roam freely on diverse pasture, nurtured by nature. ✅ What It’s Free From: 🌾 GMOs – No genetically modified feed or seed. 💉 Steroids & Hormones – Never used to enhance growth. 💊 Antibiotics – Absolutely none, ever. 💉 Vaccines – Not administered; we focus on natural immunity. ☠️ Chemicals – No synthetic dewormers, pesticides, or sprays once they arrive on our farm. However, they may be exposed to chemicals as calves prior to arriving. 🌍 Regenerative Practices – Always improving soil, water, and wildlife health. 🟢 Best for: Those seeking the cleanest, most natural beef available—with full transparency and minimal environmental impact. 🍔 Standard Beef Sourced from a Trusted Farming Partner Our Standard beef is still raised with integrity—on pasture, with humane care—from Marksbury Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, who shares our commitment to better meat. But since it’s not under our direct stewardship, there are a few important differences. ✅ What It’s Free From: 🌾 GMOs 💉 Steroids & Hormones 💊 Antibiotics ⚠️ What We Can’t Guarantee: ☠️ Chemicals – Possible use of synthetic dewormers or pasture treatments. 💉 Vaccines – May be used as part of herd health protocols. 🟡 Best for: Customers looking for a high-quality, pasture-raised option at a more accessible price point, but who may not require the same level of purity as our Premium line. 🤝 Why Offer Both? Raising truly regenerative beef is deeply rewarding—but also labor-intensive and limited in scale. By offering both Premium and Standard options, we’re able to: Serve more families and communities Support other responsible farmers Stay true to our values of honesty and health Whether you choose Premium or Standard, you’re rejecting factory farming and supporting a future where soil, animals, and people thrive together. 💬 Have Questions? I’m always here to talk. When you know your farmer, you know your food—and I’m grateful to walk this path with you. 📧 Reach out anytime: support@makersmeadow.com Eat well and stay grounded.
