About Jackson Station Livestock
A small-scale family farm business located in Leelanau County, focused on raising premium meats, including: Pork, Beef, Chicken, Goat and free-range eggs.
The Land
We practice rotational grazing for the health of the animals and improvement of the soil. The pastures are a mixture of hardwood forests, pine plantations, and newly established clearings. In our new pastures we have planted a polyculture of pasture seeds and feed seeds.
The Animals
Our animals always enjoy fresh air and fresh water in their pastures. In addition to Hay and Pasture, our Livestock is fed non-GMO feed, grown locally at Hall Farms in Long Lake Twp.
The pigs have access to local hay, which they eat and make beds in. The Mangalitsa- Large Black crosses are bred and raised right here on the farm (historically referred to as “farrow to finish.”) They are a hardy animal, a great choice for our Northern Michigan climate, plus they enjoy making their beds in the shade of our natural forest.
Our chickens are moved about in a large skidable hen house and protected with a net of electric fencing to free range within.
We have a growing herd of Cattle, including the breeding stock. A few of our sows have had calves on the farm this year! They also enjoy the company of the pigs and chickens.
A newer addition to the farm in 2021 was the herd of Goats! We plan to keep some of them for “petting animals” for farm visitors to enjoy petting and feeding, while others are raised to become premium Goat meat.
