Pastured Life Farm is a true family farm located in North Central Florida. After growing tired of city life living in the urban core of Jacksonville, we left the city to reconnect to the land and our food. Nearly a decade ago we began raising pasture-raised broiler (meat) chickens and layers for eggs, along with a few dairy and beef cows and a couple of pigs. Over time, we've grown into a full-scale pastured poultry, forest-raised pork and raw grass-fed dairy and creamery.
Our customers take comfort in the fact that each of our animals spends its entire life on our farm, and their quality of life is unmatched. We believe that animals should be raised locally, sustainable, and responsibly by healthy farmers for healthy families.
We place a large emphasis on building soil through perennial and annual native grasses, which enables us to raise our cows on a zero-grain diet, as nature intended. Our chickens and pigs receive the freshest non-GMO grains, tested and guaranteed by the producer to be free from herbicides, pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. (These results are available for us to share upon request.) All of our chickens are processed in our on-farm processing facility, and our pigs are dispatched here in a calm, humane manner before being transported to our nearby red meat processing facility.
We deliver weekly to designated drop points in Jacksonville; bi-weekly to St. Augustine and Gainesville; and monthly to Orlando, Tampa, Valdosta and Tallahassee. Please visit our website for additional information, or drop us a line via email to request our complete product price list and delivery information.
On farm pick-up and tours are always welcome and encouraged.
