PK Pastures

We’re first generation farmers (led by Kait Crowley) raising certified Organic and Animal-Welfare-Approved pastured pork, poultry and lamb near Sweet Home, Oregon on the traditional lands of the Kalapuya peoples. It’s our goal to bring you the tastiest, most ethical meat we can that’s good for people, critters, and the land we all share.Our job as conscientious farmers is to create systems that apply their natural talents in beneficial ways. It’s our strong belief that pigs should be allowed to be pigs! And that means rooting. We practice rotational pasture management, and allow our pigs to work the soil for us in preparation for perennial forage species. We are a farrow-to-finish operation, and raise our own frisky piglets right here on the farm.Our chickens are Freedom Rangers - a specialty meat bird adapted to life on pasture. Freedom Rangers lead more active lives than the chickens most of us are familiar with, and more exercise means more flavor! They have proportionally more dark leg and thigh meat. Freedom Rangers are fully feathered and less susceptible to heat or cold stress. We let them live up to their name and free-range during daylight hours, then overnight in chicken tractors that we move daily.In addition to upholding responsible land stewardship practices, we are committed to upholding principles of social equity and food justice. We strive to pay our employees competitive wages and value farm labor as dignified and skilled work. Most of our pasture-raised meats are sold direct to eaters through our 'Pay-What-You-Can' CSA farmshare program. We use a Community Pricing structure and encourage those who have the means to pitch in a little more to help others access our ethically and organically raised proteins. We also seek grant funding to provide no-cost shares.
