Local, Organic Foods

One of the principles of organic farming is diversity. This means that many different creatures and plants are grown or encouraged. The Flying J Farm grows corn, soybeans, wheat, and hay in a four-season rotation and offers the first three to organic neighbors for poultry, hogs, and dairy cows. Hay is used for the cows and horses. A herd of grass-fed, organic beef cows is included because they provide diversity and fertilizer for the grain crops, they occasionally fit into the crop rotation for weed control, and they are of interest to urban guests. Grown on grass and hay with no chemicals, antibiotics, steroids, and hormones, studies have shown that they have 70 percent less cholesterol and they represent a healthier source of food than conventional beef for those who must eat meat.
