About Us
Who We Are and What We Do

Just in: an abundant supply of full-flavored ground beef!

Heritage Farms is located in the beautiful Cocolalla Valley in the Idaho Panhandle. Our animals have a symbiotic relationship with the pastures on which they graze, each feeding the other without chemical inputs to either.

While most chickens are raised in 100% confinement, we've found that pasturing our birds adds quality while making farming more environmentally friendly. On our pastures, there's an entire ecosystem geared towards absorbing manure and eliminating pollution. The addition of fresh green plants to the chickens' diet adds quite a bit of flavor to the eggs, while the lack of crowding makes health problems uncommon. Free range eggs not only taste better and have darker yolks, but they are certainly higher in nutrients and have a superior Omega 3/Omega 6 balance to ordinary eggs.

Our Grazing Program ensures that our cattle are always grazing on lush green fresh grass, while at the same time replacing the broad spectrum nutrients they are removing. Every few days the cattle are moved to fresh pasture, and replaced by chickens, which then scatter the beef fertilizer while adding their own variety and controlling fly and bug populations. The chickens also convert the grass to luscious natural meat and eggs for your dining pleasure.

Through our Herd Share program you can receive milk from your own Dairy Cow, lovingly cared for and milked for you twice daily.

We offer Free Range Eggs and Dairy Cow Boarding year around as well as high quality Grass Finished Beef and Broiler/Fryer Chickens in season. Beef is sold by the whole, half, or quarter, or frozen by the package. Call for availability.

Visitors are always welcome at Heritage Farms; we love to give you and your family a “Farm Experience” tailored to your tastes. Children love to gather eggs, go for a hay ride and pet the milk cows. Sometimes there is a calf that they can bottle feed. Call 208-683-4410 to make arrangements.

Practices (our standards for raising or making our products)
All-natural, no hormones, antibiotics or chemicals used in production. Organic principles applied, but not certified organic. Beef is never fed any grain, only grass-fed and grass-finished. Our beef has never been given any hormones, antibiotics or other chemical, nor have they ever been fed any grain, which could cause them to have health problems. Research shows that Grass-Finished Beef is as low fat as a skinless chicken breast, low cholesterol, and high in Omega-3 Fatty Acids. And the flavor is absolutely unbeatable!

Poultry are out on pasture when weather is appropriate, cage free at all times in large ventilated barn with fresh shredded hay for feed, excercise, and have fresh hay to eat and to use for bedding daily. The eggs they lay have dark yellow yolks which are perky in the pan, and do not spread out. Plus the flavor is absolutely WONDERFUL!


Additional Information
We practice ecology-based farming which mimics nature to create an agro-ecology where water is conserved and not polluted, and plant nutrients are recycled to produce the healthiest possible plants, animals and human consumers. Animal byproducts (manure and litter) are composted and spread on the hay fields to recycle the nutrients. No chemical fertilizers are ever used. Our goal is to build soil health and plant diversity by supplying natural means. Healthy soil produces healthy plants and healthy plants produce healthy animals which, in turn, help to produce health in our customers.

Prod.ID Product Name [About Producer] Prod.Type Price
#1397 Click to enlarge Deposit, All Natural Pastured Poultry Fryer/Broilers Deposit, All Natural Pastured Poultry Fryer/Broilers
Order number of fryers. Each fryer/broiler will weigh 4 to 5 pounds, dressed, without giblets. (We can include giblets if you desire.) Chickens must be purchased live, but we offer processing for our customers at no additional charge. Full price per bird will be $18.00 each, or $15.00 each in lots of 10 or more. Once deposit is received, chicks will be ordered and raised for approximately 8 weeks to size. Fryers must be picked up at the farm on processing day. Customers will be notified approximately a week ahead of when their fryers will be ready. If that week does not suit, other arrangements may be made, but we do not have the means to store or freeze them for you. The first fryers will be ready about mid-June to the first of July, and continue throughout the summer. If you have a preference as to when you would like to have your order filled and we will do our best to accommodate. At approx. $3.00-$3.50/pound, this is a great buy for a great healthy food. Many people like to fill the freezer for year around eating pleasure. You will not find tastier chicken anywhere!
