Where does RTB meat come from?


Most of the livestock at RTB is owned and managed by independent
agripreneurs. Geoff Kinder manages cows and pigs through his business, Paradox Acres; Hannah Wylie and Tyler See manage goats through their business, Goatbusters; and Joshua Swaye of Swaye Family Farm raises pigs, chickens, and ducks. 

Most of the animals at RTB are born and bred right here, and complete full life-cycles within a very small range of the farm, with full access to pasture and sunshine. We are lucky to live within fifteen miles of a trusted, USDA- certified slaughterhouse. All meat is steroid-, hormone-, and antibiotic-free.

RTB supports these farmers/agripreneurs by providing land and resources to raise their animals in a healthy, sustainable, and holistic way. Once the animals are raised to an appropriate market weight, RTB purchases the whole (live) animal from the farmer and pays for the processing of it into cuts that are sold at our Open Farm Days, further supporting these farmers by giving them a direct market. Since RTB is not only paying the farmer for the animal, but also subsidizing land costs and paying the slaughterhouse for processing costs, the margins for profit are very small. 

Although Goatbusters owns and pays for all of their own meat processing, RTB is happy to offer their meat to our CSA members and to the general public at our monthly Open Farm Days. Because their animals are raised right here on the farm, we can ensure they are raised in a loving, ethical, and sustainable way. 

We do our best to make our meat accessible to all because we believe it is a healthy, sustainable option (on many levels), and we believe that the food we eat is medicine to our bodies and everyone should have access to the healthiest food options. We trust that our farmers raise their animals with both the care of the animal and the environment as priorities, with a focus on contributing to the health of our soil. We believe that healthy animals translate to healthy humans and ecosystems!
