About Us

Hello, we’re the Morrison family and we run Earnest Roots Farm.  We strive to produce the healthiest, most nutrient dense and
flavorful food we can with quality in mind – not quantity. The meats we offer are free of any additive chemicals or pharmaceuticals, all while being environmentally conscious and positively affecting the ecosystem around us. Using sustainable and regenerative agriculture practices, along with holistic animal management, we work with nature by managing the animals to improve the land.

In our journey, we had many questions, among them:

• Where does our food come from?
• Who produces our food?
• How is our food produced?
• Why are chemicals used to make it grow?
• What impact does it have on our health?
• What impact does it have on our environment?
• How are the animals raised?
• What are the animals fed?
• What are GMO’s?
• What does all those food labels even mean?

Most people aren’t able to answer these questions about their food, and we weren’t happy with the answers we were getting.

Animals were not created to be raised on concrete floors in confined houses or feed lots of dirt. God created every plant and animal with their own unique characteristic and they thrive in a bio-diverse environment. Our animals are ethically raised using portable housing and electric netting, allowing us to consistently move them to fresh grass and pasture. All of this works together to completely change the quality of the product. 
 
We sincerely thank you for your support. Every time you choose to shop local, you encourage that farmer to do what they do and you provide them with the assets they need continue to grow and provide more and more varieties of products.

Grass Fed Lamb:

Our Lamb is born and raised right here on the farm. Always steriod and antibiotic free, these guys live the life of daily pasture rotations, minerals, and the occasional Alfalfa supplement.

Pasture Poultry:

Pasture raised poultry not only live happy lives, but their nutrient levels are superior to conventionally raised. The Omega 6:3 ratio is lower (thus better for you) and Vitamins A, D and E are more abundant.  All the fresh grass, bugs and sunlight has to account for something. Our broilers our supplemented with a Non-GMO feed in addition to their vast supply of bugs and grass.

Eggs:

Our customers come back time and time again for our pasture eggs, there really is a difference in taste and nutrition. Take these results from a study conducted by Mother Earth News on the difference between Pasture raised vs commercially raised:

• 1/3 less cholesterol
• 1/4 less saturated fat
• 2/3 more vitamin A
• 2 times more omega-3 fatty acids
• 3 times more vitamin E
• 7 times more beta carotene

Pasture Pork:

Why our Pasture Pork? Because it doesn’t just taste good, you know what you’re getting when you buy our pork: Good, quality meat. No antibiotics, no hormones. Just meat from a pig that was raised on sunshine, mud, and fresh grass. Real Meat. They are rotated on pasture numerous times during their stay with us and given the utmost care and attention.

Grass-Fed Beef:

Our Grass-fed Beef is quite different from the typical grass fed beef.  The cows that we use in our grass fed program are purchased from Byram Cattle Co, Kiley's dad.  We know exactly where they come from and how they are raised. In addition to all the green grass and hay they want, we supplement with natural sea salts and minerals, sea kelp, and a sunflower seed meal. This 100% grain free meal is high in protein, which gives the beef a marbling content similar to grain but with a nutritional benefit of grass-fed beef.
