How we raise

We raise our sheep, Scottish Highland cattle, chicken, rabbits and pigs in rotational systems that put the needs of the animals first. Our animal management creates symbiotic systems among the different species. Our sheep are raised on pasture and fed high quality hay in the winter months. Our egg laying ducks are pasture raised and fed organic, soy free grain to supplement their foraging. Our heritage breed broiler chickens are pasture raised and moved to new pasture twice daily. We feed organic, soy free feed and supplement this with meal worms which we raise right here on the farm. Our rabbits are raised on pasture and supplemented with high quality pelleted, soy free feed. 

​

We only feed certified organic, soy free feeds. Blackfire Farm seeks to minimize off farm inputs at any point possible. For individuals with soy allergies, our broiler chickens and eggs are a phenomenal, soy free choice.

 

We strongly believe in processing our own animals on farm. By raising our animals from the very beginning to the very end we are able to be fully present and responsible for each stage of their lives, including the end. As permitted by NH state law, all our poultry and rabbits are processed on farm. Our lambs and pigs are sent to a local processing facility.
