Fry Farms Co-op
At Fry Farms Co-op, we provide free-range chicken, duck, and turkey, pastured pork, and 100% grass fed and finished beef. Our practices are not certified organic, but they are they are chemical-free! Raw A2/A2 milk and a whole array of raw dairy products are also available to our co-op herd share members.
The Frys truly are committed to and passionate about providing outstanding, nourishing foods to families in our area! The Frys use non-GMO seeds, no chemicals and they monitor the health of the soil, testing regularly, noting deficiencies and applying the necessary minerals to the fields to ensure that they are nutrient-dense and full of microbial life. Nutrient dense soil results in nutrient dense plants and those nutrients are passed along in the Fry Farms products that you consume!
The Fry Farms animals are not given hormones or antibiotics and they are either pastured or free-range, roaming out on the fields where they forage on fresh greens and soak up the sunshine. The Frys feed their chickens and pigs organic, soy-free feed. Farm visits and questions about farming practices are certainly welcomed!
