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.
