We: We utilize our natural environment and animals in order to protect and raise food in a way that does not negatively alter our land, neighbors, or bodies. We never have to use chemicals or confinement to protect our animals or grow our grasses because: Donkeys protect our herds from predators allowing them to always be on pasture.Martin Gourds, Bats, dragon flies, and Guineas help control pests.Honey Bees help pollenate our grasses.Chickens help spread manure as well as eat insect larvae. Let me introduce you to our Hunter Cattle family. In 2004, my Mom, (Debra), my Dad (Del), my older brother (Anthony), and me (Kristan, the oldest daughter), fell in love with a piece of property outside of Stilson, GA. It’s so small we don’t even have a post office, so our address is in Brooklet. We wanted a place to build our families, become as sustainable as possible, and raise/grow our own food. We were becoming more and more aware of the industrialized food issues and wanted an alternative. The overuse of antibiotics in animals, their terrible living conditions, and the abuse to the environment that leads to abuse of our own bodies when consuming these products all become very real when you begin having children and raising grandchildren. To date we have 10 grandsons and 1 granddaughter. We are leaving them with a healthier legacy for their future. .. To raise grassfed cows, you have to have a ton of fenced-off pastures for “rotational grazing.” So we started building fences and planting grass. We began raising our first herd of cattle and, boy, did we learn a lot REAL quick! The heifers had been bred to a high birthrate bull, so their babies were too big for these first-time mamas. We ended up having to pull almost every calf! During our first one, we had no clue what to do. We ended up reading from a type of “Cows for Dummies” book what to do step by step. It was CRAZY and awesome to say the least! And I would like to add that we constantly say that, if it weren’t for good books, good neighbors, and the good Lord, we would not be where we are today. We are thankful to all those who have helped us with this venture! Soon after, family and friends began asking to purchase ourgrassfed beef, and the rest is history. We went to selling the beef by the cut, and by demand we began expanding like crazy. We started attending farmers’ markets and selling our beef out of the freezer in the back of the truck. As requests for more continued, we began raising pigs, chickens, turkeys, and eggs to sell to friends and restaurants as well. Soon we openedMooMa’s Farm Store, built a processing facility, and began producing our products right here on the farm. Thankfully, our HC products have been well received in the culinary world. We have been featured in magazines, newspapers, and on TV programs.* With our “Hunter Cattle Co Pork Sausage”, Governor Nathan Deal presented us the“Flavor of Georgia Award”for winning in the 2015 and 2013 meat category. Our handcrafted artisanal link sausage took the top honor in the statewide competition. This comes off the heels of our first ground beef customer,“Green Truck Pub”, having received city, statewide, and national accolades for having the best burgers around.** We are so fortunate to supply our products to many great award winning chefs, who are dedicated to buying local and supporting our family and farm.*** Because our friends and customers love coming out to the farm so much, we are hosting agrot
