Wooden Arrow Farm

“…ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therin,
and ye shall find rest for your souls.”
Jeremiah 6:16

When we moved to Montana in 2011, we quickly became aware of the struggle of finding the quality of food we believed in, all while remaining in the rural lifestyle we loved. It started a journey of asking questions, looking for hidden resources, and finding our place in all of it. After years of running all around trying to find these resources, we finally moved out of town and got 9 chickens, 2 pigs (which we kept in with the chickens!), and cats. This began the Wooden Arrow Farm. We knew we wanted to do things the ‘old way’ and we knew we looked strange when there are so many new ideas on how to raise animals. We continued in the old paths anyways, all the while finding that there are a growing number of people loving this rural life that also want the same things. They wanted unmedicated animals that live outdoors in the fresh air and eat what God created them to eat. They were losing their faith in the mass food production industry. We started to invite people over to see our operation. We added lots more laying hens and pigs, meat birds, turkeys, a livestock guardian, and more pens. We learned some hard lessons (like it being super scary when pigs break out and try to get into your house via glass doors!). We grew slowly and fell more in love with what we do. Today we offer high quality heritage pork meat that is fed organic wheat, organic barley, organic oats, and organic peas that we grind and mix ourselves, OMRI listed minerals, organic milk, and organic table scraps, as well as chemical-free hay and seasonal fresh grasses that we grow right out back. They are never given medications of any kind beyond probiotics or herbs. When harvest comes, our pork is transported just 1 mile down the road to a local, state-inspected butcher. In keeping with our nose-to-tail philosophy, we waste nothing we can possibly use and even turn the excess fat into luxurious beauty care products. We do not carry any certifications. Instead, we open our doors to any of our customers that want to come see how we do things. We develop the relationships and the trust. And we find rest for our souls….
