About Our Farm

We think there's a better alternative to 'factory farm' produced meat and eggs.

Better in four important ways:

1. Better for YOU - the consumer: naturally raised meat and eggs that are more nutrient dense and healthier for you.
2. Better for the livestock: livestock are raised on pasture and free to indulge in their natural behaviors; all of their nutritional, environmental, and social needs are met -- eliminating the need for vaccinations, artificial parasite control, and antibiotics.
3. Better for the land: management-intensive rotational grazing improves the forages by naturally improving the soil -- no herbicides nor pesticides are needed.
4. Better for the environment: the repeated cycle of grazing and regrowth of the forages continuously removes carbon from the air and sequesters it in the soil in the form of fertile, organic matter.

Established in 2017 by Joe and Sarah Thrash, Dutch Spring Farm is a family-owned, family-operated farm located near Atlanta, Texas.  All livestock are raised on pasture using natural and regenerative farming methods, including low-stress livestock management techniques.  All livestock is processed and packaged at state or USDA inspected facilities in the northeast Texas area.  Meat is sealed and frozen for long-term storage and is marketed directly to the consumer.

What we don't do is also very important.  We don't administer any antibiotics, vaccines, de-wormers, steroids, nor hormones to our livestock.  Nor do we apply any pesticides nor herbicides to our pastures or livestock.  These practices ensure you are receiving safe, natural, and healthy meat and eggs from our farm.

Joe is a former engineer and Sarah is a former nurse. They bring attention to detail with an emphasis on health to their farm management in order to produce nourishing food raised with integrity that you can feed your family with confidence.  Dutch Spring Farm has an ‘open gate’ policy for customers who want to see how and where their meat is produced.
