In their words.
The Flying J Farm was started five years ago with the goal and motto: Restoring the land, the buildings, and the people. Our plan and hope was to restore health to ourselves and others through growing our own food, and better nutrition and lifestyle. We have been certified organic by OCIA and OEFFA for three years. We raise grassfed, chemical-free Hereford cattle and try to have freezer BEEF in all cuts available year-round. The cows graze rotationally to maximize the pasture and their time on greens. We also raise organic food-grade corn, soybeans, and hard (make bread flour) and soft winter wheat. We raise hay for the cows, but feed them only what we need to get them through the winter. We also grow a large organic vegetable garden with help from interns and volunteers (always looking for more) and have a farm market as well as a CSA. Products from the garden are available during the growing season. We also make maple syrup and have it available year-round. We do four major events each year to encourage urban folks to visit the farm and see how food is raised. These include a Maple Sugar Festival in February, a Mushroom Hunt in April, a farm tour and taste of local food in July,…
The Flying J Farm carries third-party certification: USDA Organic. Those bodies maintain public producer rosters that this listing has been cross-referenced against.
