We are Jonathan and Ellen Elliott and we farm in Marshall, VA about an hour west of Washington, DC. We raise 100% grass-fed & grass-finished beef (no grain), pasture-raised heritage chicken, and pastured-pork.
We raise our chickens, pigs, and cattle without the use of hormones, antibiotics, or any chemicals. We integrate plant and animal management on our farm. This includes daily moves for the animals, allowing them to mimic natural herd movement while increasing soil health and plant diversity. They turn the nutrient-dense plants into delicious and nourishing meat!
