About Hillside Pasture Farms
Our Story
At Hillside Pasture Farms, located in the lush landscapes of Indiana, we began with a simple yet profound commitment: to provide our community with food that is not only nutritious but also ethically produced. Our farm sprouted from a desire to integrate a love of farming with a lifestyle that respects both nature and the animals that nourish us. Despite the early challenges of funding and growing our farm operation, we’ve maintained our dedication to these principles, growing steadily in both spirit and practice.
Our Mission
At Hillside Pasture Farms, we believe that everyone deserves access to fresh, safe, and nutritious food at fair prices. Our mission is to nourish our community with locally produced food while upholding the highest standards of animal welfare and environmental stewardship. We are committed to sustainable farming practices, utilizing locally sourced feed and supplies, and ensuring our animals are treated humanely and live stress-free, natural lives. We continue to protect the environment for future generations of humans and animals alike, striving to enhance the health and prosperity of our community with every product we offer.
Our Vision
We are on a path to becoming a beacon of sustainable and ethical farming, looking forward to receiving Humane and Free Range certifications, and expanding our product lines to include goat cheese and meat. Our aim is to produce our own animal feed and continue pioneering practices that foster a healthier planet.
Our Products
We proudly offer fresh brown eggs, whole meat chickens, and whole rabbit, each reflecting our commitment to quality and sustainability. These products are the heart of what we do, bringing the best of our farm directly to your table.
Sustainable Practices
Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our day-to-day operations. Our chickens graze freely in pastures that we rotate to maintain soil health and prevent disease. We source our feed locally and turn animal waste into fertilizer, reducing our environmental footprint. Pursuing Humane and Free Range certifications is not just a goal but a reflection of our fundamental values.
Community Engagement
Hillside Pasture Farms is deeply embedded in the Indiana community with locations in Columbus and Scipio. Our roadside stands are not just places to buy food but are symbols of our commitment to the community’s health and prosperity.
What Our Customers Say
“Our customers rave about the large, flavorful brown eggs our hens produce. There’s nothing quite like the taste of eggs fresh from a farm that cares deeply for its animals and the environment.”
Our Future
In the short term, we aim to expand our hen population and develop a dedicated area for meat birds. Long-term, we plan to introduce goat milk and cheese and start producing our own animal feed. These steps will solidify our standing as leaders in humane and sustainable farming.
