How We Care for the Animals and the Land:
At River Bend Farm, we’re committed to providing healthy, all-natural meats for our local community. Our animals are humanely raised without antibiotics or hormones, in a natural, low-stress environment that results in tender, flavorful products—and happy, healthy animals. We prioritize sustainability by farming in a way that regenerates the soil, recycling nutrients from manure back into the earth. Our cattle help spread nutrients as they graze, while winter feeding area manure is returned to pastures and hay fields. By nurturing the land, we grow the grass that sustains our animals and produces delicious meat.
Angus Beef
Our Angus cows live a happy healthy life rotationally grazing our lush grass and clover pastures. In addition, they receive small amounts of wholesome grains to achieve the desired amount of marbling and tenderness. From our pastures to your plate, our beef provides a healthy and delicious eating experience.
Berkshire Pork
Three hundred years ago - so legend has it - the Berkshire hog was discovered by Oliver Cromwell's army during the English civil war in the shire of Berks in England. After the war, army veterans carried the news to the outside world of the wonderful hogs of Berks; larger than any other swine of that time and producing hams and bacon of rare quality and flavor. Like our beef, our Berkshire pigs are raised all naturally (with no antibiotics or hormones), on wholesome grains supplemented with an abundance of garden scraps and loads of apples.

Pasture Raised Lamb
Our lambs are born in the spring, when the pastures are lush and vibrant, and they spend the summer grazing freely alongside the ewes. Raised on a natural diet of grasses and wild edibles, our lambs thrive in a stress-free, pasture-based environment. This results in tender, flavorful meat that reflects the care we put into raising them. Lamb shares are available seasonally, giving you the opportunity to stock up on this delicacy when it's at its best. Individual cuts of our pasture-raised lamb are available year-round, so you can enjoy this premium meat anytime.
Pasture Raised Poultry
Our pasture-raised chicken, turkey, and eggs are all ethically & humanely raised right here on our family farm. The chickens roam the pastures alongside the cattle in their mobile hen houses, enjoying a natural diet of grass, clover, bugs, and non-GMO grains, while also helping to fertilize the land.
