Welcome to TnF Farms, we’re passionate about producing the best local fresh farm goods for our customers! Our approach to animal husbandry is rooted in a philosophy of gentle stewardship and a commitment to providing our pigs, goats, and poultry with the best possible care. We believe in a firm but gentle hand, recognizing that animals thrive in an environment where they are treated with respect and compassion.
One of our core principles is to mimic the natural way animals live and thrive. To this end, all our animals enjoy daily access to open areas of woods and pasture, allowing them to forage for real, unprocessed food, bask in the sun, and breathe in the fresh air. This practice aligns with the way nature designed these animals to live, ensuring their physical and mental well-being.
While natural foraging is essential, we also supplement our animals’ diets with high-quality feed to ensure they receive the necessary nutrients. This balanced approach contributes to the overall health and vitality of our livestock.
Maintaining a low population of animals on our farm is another crucial aspect of our practices. This ensures that there is always an abundance of naturally growing vegetation for our animals to graze on. It promotes a sustainable and harmonious coexistence between our farm and the environment.
Ultimately, our goal is to provide our animals with a healthier, longer, and more satisfying life. We believe that by combining the best of nature’s design with responsible farming practices, we can achieve this aim. Our commitment to ethical and sustainable animal husbandry reflects our dedication to the well-being of our livestock, the land, and our broader community. It’s a philosophy that guides everything we do at TnF Farms and underscores our belief that happy, healthy animals are at the heart of a successful and fulfilling homesteading journey.
Located just north of Tallahassee, at TnF Farms, we strive to have transparency in our farming practices and firmly believe that you should have the opportunity to see “where the sausage is made,” so to speak. Knowing where your food comes from and ensuring that it has had a great life is of paramount importance to us. We recognize that the typical commercial farming practices involving confinement, poor air quality, heavily processed food, and the use of harsh chemicals are not in line with our values or what we believe is best for our livestock.
Our philosophy centers on the idea that happy animals thrive and are not only healthier but also produce more local, fresh farm goods. We take immense pride in sharing our journey as new farmers, along with the challenges we’ve encountered and overcome. We’re always eager to help others interested in embracing the homestead life, and we enjoy engaging in discussions with fellow small farmers.
While we are enthusiastic about showing off our healthy and contented livestock from a distance, we must prioritize safety and biosecurity. For this reason, we cannot allow visitors to enter livestock areas, touch our animals, or feed them due to liability and health considerations.
