| Proffitt Family Farms Mission Our mission is to produce high quality beef grown in a natural way. To provide our animals with an environment that lets them live their entire lives as nature intended, by allowing them to forage exclusively on pasture. On our farm we let the cows and pasture land sustain each other with only rain and sunshine. Our animals are never given hormones or antibiotics. |

Lean and delicious! |

| Last Saturday at our Shelby property we were greeted with a new addition to the herd. This little guy was born to #62, a kind and loving mother cow. She was pregnant with him when she arrived on our property earlier this past summer. Since the pasture she has been grazing was certified USDA Organic in September 2009 and calves born to mothers who spend the last trimester eating certified organic grass or feeds, will bear organic beef calves once those calves have spent their whole live eating certified organic. This certification process is complicated by the fact that we do not feed any corn or grain! This means all of our pastures that are grazed by an animal to be organic certified must remain on the certified pastures throughout their lives, including the last trimester of their gestation! This also means any hay they are fed must be certified organic and any minerals they eat as a supplement must be certified organic. Things get complicated fast! But, that little calf knows no complication. Life is grand for him. He'll spend his days roaming about the 200 acres in Shelby under the southern sun. He'll drink from the Broad river, from a trough, and take the milk loaded in butter fat his mother provides. He'll take some dried sea kelp and salt, from the ancient sea, found in the troughs as he wants it. He won't know what a special, unique, and truly priveliged, existence he is leading. He won't know that he is the first beef calf born on USDA Certified Organic pastures in his home state. He is something to celebrate for us. There are a precious few USDA Organic AND grass fed operations in the entire country. We are excited to be the first in NC and SC and, therefore, able to provide this to the Charlotte market in the very short future. Thanks for you support. I know you all celebrate with us! What should we name him, it's a bull? Shelley |
| In September 2009 the USDA certified two of our pastures (260 acres) organic and one pasture (200 acres) transitional (to be certified organic in September 2010). In about 2 years we will be able to provide you with USDA certified organic, 100% grass fed beef. At this time we are offering 100% grass fed, no hormones, no antibiotics, never penned. Beef that spent their complete lifetime grazing on local pastures. |
