1923 Northline Rd., Waukon
Jeremy, Jodi, and Molly Peake operate an organic pasture-based dairy
farm west of Waukon, selling milk to Organic Valley. They milk about
30 mostly Jersey cows on their 100 acre farm. The Peakes also help out
with Peake Orchard, which is located on the same farm. They will
once again offer pasture raised chickens for GROWN Locally. The
chickens are raised in portable open bottom pens and moved twice daily
to fresh pasture. The chickens enjoy eating the grass and bugs and are
also fed a corn based ration. They are fed no antibiotics or
hormones. The chickens are processed commerciually for institutional
sales.
This will be the 5th year the Peakes will be marketing pork. The hogs
are raised outdoors in bedded pens and fed a ration with no
antibiotics, no hormones, and no animal byproducts. The sows are
farrowed in bedded pens, never in crates or on slatted floors. Pork
will be available by the piece, or as a half or whole hog. Pork will
also be included in the Meat Variety Share and the mixed Meat Sampler Boxes offered through Annie's Gardens CSA . |
