At The Maker's Meadow we believe it is our responsibility to care for animals in a ethical way, so you can eat with confidence!

Here are  some of the guiding principles Tanner, Bernard, Jay and I strive to practice with our animals.


1 Stay calm and handle them gently.



2 Keep water clean and feed them           good quality feed / grass and minerals.



3 Provide protection from predators/extreme weather conditions, still allowing them as much  fresh air and sunshine as possible.


With these principles our animals animals stay calm and live happier, healthier lives with a lot less stress!

Resulting in healthier ethically raised food for your family!

Here's a short video of Jay and I loading cattle. 


Thank you so much for your support!
