Williams Valley Family Farm
Our slogan is “Local Food For Local People!”
And that is the way we want it. We believe a relationship between the farmer and the consumer will build in a sense of accountability that is missing in the commercialized industrialized model. We are not saying we are perfect, but, we are saying that what we say is true, and if you have questions we are here to discuss them.
I believe transparency trumps certification by a third party from the other side of the continent. This is one of the reasons we are not certified organic. (there are many commercialized 'organic' farms out there that if the public would realize what their production protocols are, would not meet the customers impressions of what 'Certified Organic' means. (This is not to say certification is bad. I'm only saying it is not everything.) Another reason is cost. I hope that as we can learn to know you, our customer, and you learn to know us, your farmer, that we can meat your expectations without incurring that extra expense.
As a family we are interested in whole raw milk for the health benefits which we believe are huge. To reach its fullest potential, milk should come from grass-fed cows on a GMO free diet without the use of hormones or antibiotics as crutches.
This is a tall order but one we believe is attainable. One of my old friends coined this saying in relation to what we need to do in the cattle industry. He said, ”What we need to do is so old it is new again.” He simply meant that we need to go back to breeding and feeding cows like our great-grandfathers did. And if we do this, we will be able to enjoy much of the other benefits that they also enjoyed, including a more natural, healthy diet.
We are planning to make the center piece of Williams Valley Family Farm LLC, Grade A Whole Raw Milk. We've added other products including pastured eggs, as well as beef etc. We don't know where all God will lead us but we would like to be able to offer high quality local food to neighbors and friends about us who may not have the experience, infrastructure, or the time to grow their own.
