Beyond the dairy, the farm raises beef cattle on organic certified grass and pigs on organic pasture, selling grass fed beef, pastured pork and honey through the same online store. Their stated goal is simple, the best tasting, cleanest fresh milk possible.BF&E ORGANICSButcher in North Branch5 (5 reviews)BF&E Organics is a family owned and operated farm in North Branch, Michigan raising certified organic, 100% grass fed beef and lamb.

Alfresco Acres LLCButcherAlfresco Acres is a farm at Evart in Michigan producing food free from preservatives, dyes and unnecessary additives.

Chickens and Thanksgiving turkeys are organic fed and raised on pasture too.
Milk is collected at the farm in half gallon glass jars, other products are picked up at the farm in Evart, and whole and half hogs and beef come from the processor in Rosebush, Michigan.
