Freedom Farms is located on the edge of the beautiful Eastern Michigan. Our family has been taking care of this land since the early 1900’s raising a variety of field crops and livestock. Our farm has been focusing its efforts on beef cattle since the 1995.
We are very proud of our land, our cattle, and our practices. All of our cattle are moved naturally on horseback or on foot. We pride ourselves in our humane handling. We believe in the phrase “if you want to move cattle fast, you have to move them slow.” We rotationally graze all of our cows to properly manage our pastures while getting the most use out of them each season as possible. Once our calves are weaned from their mothers in the fall we finish them on a mixed ration of cracked corn, distillers grains, and mineral, which is all mixed on the farm. They also have access to free choice hay and water. All of the hay and corn that we feed, we grow ourselves. We work very closely with a beef cattle nutritionist to ensure that our animals have a well balanced diet while also growing more efficiently.
We want to keep raising cattle and farming this land as long as we can with the hopes that our children will continue after we are gone. It is important to us that we are good stewards to our land and to our cattle so that our future generations can be successful.
Family owned and operated with love to the land.
People know that farmers provide us with the food we eat, but the crops we grow and the livestock they raise are used in more than just food. Let’s discover that farming is more than food! it is a life style!
