Elevated Pastures
Know your farmer - Trust your food
Our Products
At Elevated Pastures, we believe in producing high quality meat, with no added junk. We are a small farm that specializes in pasture raised, non-GMO, soy and corn free chicken, pork and lamb. Our feed is high in flaxseed, sorghum and sunflowers. Along with our feed, the animals enjoy a nutrient-dense diet full of a variety of bugs and native Colorado grasses.
We believe in treating our animals humanely. We believe in letting our animals grow at the rate nature intended - not any faster. We purposely chose Freedom Ranger meat birds over the commonly used Cornish Cross due to their slow natural growing patterns. Our pigs are locally sourced around 4 weeks of age and we maintain a single breeder to ensure quality control.
Our Story
We often say that the farm found us when we weren't looking for it. 2020 was a transformational year for most and our family was no different. During the soul-searching time of the great quarantine, as a family we realized that a piece of life was missing. When the grocery store shelves were empty and the talk of food being a scarcity, we knew that we wanted to take matters into our own hands - not just for us, but for those around us as well.
Our process is simple. We acquire our animals from quality sources and feed them a diet free of corn and soy. We source our feed from a local feed store, that is hand-mixed and delivered weekly. We interact with the animals on a daily basis, pouring love and care into their growing.
About Us
Elevated Pastures is a family-owned farm, spanning two generations. Birney is the patriarch of the farm, as well as Erin’s father. Brent and Erin are husband and wife. Brent and Erin have two children, Hayden & Tessa, who help out on the farm when they are not busy with school. We believe in raising animals responsibly and humanely. Our process takes longer than traditional meat production. We choose to feed the animals a corn and soy free diet. Without corn and soy, it takes longer to get the animals to their mature weights. However, it does create a higher quality product for our customers.
