Fraser Farms started as a Family Homesteading project as my wife Jan, and myself are deepy concerned about getting food that we know its origin.  We are big believers in the advantages of organically sourced food and we are very troubled about using any genetically modified products.  It is out of this belief that we started growing our own organic vegetables and fruits.  

Then we decided to try our hand with raising backyard chickens.  We both love fresh eggs and what a difference in the quality of an organic pasture raised egg.  

With our 80 acres of pasture land and with the help of an experienced cattleman, we got into cattle.  We kept his 18 head of cattle while we raised one steer of our own.  This has now grown into a family of 2 pregnant cows and 1 steer.  We just slaughtered our other steer so we have fresh grass fed beef in our freezer that should last about 18 months.   All of this was just for our own consupmtion.

This changed however when a friend of ours decided to get out of farming and asked us if we would be interested in his 100 laying hens and 1 Great Pyrennes.  When I asked how many eggs do you get a week, he answered 35 dz.  We took a leap of faith and jumped in.  So now we are Fraser Farms home of organic pasture raised eggs.
