We use a pastoral approach to working our diversified family farm in northern Illinois, only 60 miles from Chicago. We strive to make sure that all our livestock have a forage-based diet to provide the energy necessary for good health. Our goal is to capture as much solar energy as possible via green grass and legumes, and then to let our pasture raised livestock harvest that energy through grazing. In addition, it is extremely important that we maintain a natural setting for our animals by providing them with open space to roam, mingle and graze. Here at Hasselmann Family Farm, we use no antibiotics, growth hormones or animal by-products in any of our feed rations. On our eighty-acre farm, we grow alfalfa hay and non-GMO grains like corn, wheat, barely, and oats, which we then feed to our chickens and pigs. By raising and grinding our own feed and breeding our own animals we feel we can better control the quality and genetics of our livestock.
