The Dickinson College Farm manages its livestock using a rotational grazing program. All of the livestock are raised on pasture, eating only forages for their nutritional needs. The amazing element of this kind of grazing program is that animals like beef cows can gain all of their dietary needs from the diversity of grasses and legumes growing in the pasture- they are truly grass-fed!
Farm Apprentices and student farmers actively manage the livestock, caring for them daily by ensuring that they have ample access to fresh grass, water and shade during the hot summer months. Their care and love for the animals is reflected in the relationships that they foster with our cows, sheep and chickens over the course of their lives.
The College Farm is proud to provide grass-fed, humanely-raised meat for the campus community. We hope that our efforts to care for, respect and love these animals is reflected in the quality of meat that you eat.
