Thistle Lane Farm is a second-generation farm that was originally purchased by our uncle in 1957 for his love of horses. Our parents purchased the farm in 1973, and 10 years ago we decided to raise grass-fed beef cattle. We attended conferences to learn how to rotational graze cattle, and now we raise 60-70 Red Devon white-face crosses, meat goats, and chickens. Our farm is our pride and joy, and we want to share our passion for natural farming with others.
