Your Farmers

Davis Creek Farm is a small family farm in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains between Charlottesville and Lynchburg. Since 2001, we have raised heritage breed Red Poll beef cattle, older breeds of laying hens (eggs), as well as pasture-raised broiler chickens. (As of 2014, we no longer produce broiler chickens.)
We also produce smaller quantities of fruits and vegetables. Unlike most grocery store produce, however, we do not rely on CAFO fertilizer. Rather, our animals feed on our produce and in turn fertilize it, creating a perfect cycle. We not only provide a physical alternative to factory farming by raising animals solely on pasture, but more importantly, we seek to honor the life that feeds us and our community. We recognize that our animals and plants teach and sustain us, and we are humbly grateful to them. All plants and animals are loved and thanked throughout their lives for their sacred contribution to the whole
Our fruits and vegetables receive only organic fertilizers from our animals. Our animals' diet consists of grass, certified organic alfalfa, sea kelp, natural minerals, and hay in winter. We use a very small-scale, family-run processor dedicated to humane treatment of the animals. Unlike store-bought beef, they dry-age the meat.
Our beef, eggs, and produce are not only good for you, but customers say, "you can taste the love." Local chef Rachel Willis described our beef as “absolutely the best-tasting grass-fed beef I've ever had.”
