Here at Oakland Bay Farm, the phrase Locally Pastured combines two pillars of our foundation into one very important idea:

We are firmly committed to supplying our local community with fresh, nutritious food that is worthy of our customers’ trust because it is produced ethically, morally, and environmentally. All of our animals are locally raised and bred. The key to our animals’ vibrant health and high quality meat products is their unlimited and boundless access to the outdoors on our pasture.

Our animals are outside on pasture as long as deemed safe for that animal. We want our animals to to express their pure “animal-ness” by giving them around the clock access to their natural foodstuffs. This cannot be done more simply than raising them outside; plain and simple. Conventionally raised animals are not just getting sick for no reason. They are getting sick, due to their deplorable living conditions that completely deny them of all access to the outside and their natural forages
