AMD stands for American Milking Devon

We have added Devon cattle to our farm this year. The Devon cattle breed has been around since Pilgrims brought them over to America in 1623. We are really excited to offer the breed to our customers, they can enjoy a excellent meat product and a part of our nations rich heritage. We also have grown our Berkshire hog operation to more sows farrowing additional pigs. This will give us more finishers to market to those who want to taste and enjoy the advantages of quality pork that is proven by the taste. Visit us on Facebook for updated post and content.

What do we do?

Our homestead has evolved throughout the over years. Having both came from conventional farming operations we had a love for agriculture but was challenged by the many practices that we felt was breaking down the family farm and the food quality. We saw too much sickness in our family and others. I saw how much agriculture had become a monopoly and corrupt! Agri-business's & the USDA no longer really interested in the well-being of the people or the land. I guess you could say....we started to think and ask questions! It has been a process, we first started out with a goal of providing healthy, nutritious food for our own family. We were able to use the principles taught from our fathers and history along with new ideas that aligned with our personal family values for stewardship, accountability and personal responsibility. Along the way we have learnt so much, mostly by failing. But that is normally the most effective teacher! We continue to live on our Indiana homestead, utilizing the resources entrusted to us in the best way possible and adapting to the ever changing culture we find ourselves living in today. Our family spends most of the year teaching others about the lessons we have learned along the way. Join us on the journey, it is a thrilling adventure!
