Tim & Heidi Aulgur
Marshall, Missouri
The Aulgur family raises grass-fed/grass-finished beef and lamb on 350 acres, focusing on soil and plant health. I guess you could say they married into DP because this also happens to be Kaitlyn Kesten's parents! They utilize ruminant livestock and rotational grazing practices to build soil health and plant diversity on their land. They raise their own lambs and calves and select genetics that excel on a 100% forage-based diet and in Missouri's wacky climate.
Tim is also our purveyor of truly pasture-raised eggs; he works directly with our two partner egg farms in north Missouri. Both of these farms rotate their hens outside on pasture the majority of the year, and provide them with a warm, deep-bedded hoop house in the winter. The hens are fed a local GMO-free feed ration and enjoy a wonderful life that is quite contrary to most of America's free-range farms.
Fun Fact: their lamb and cattle graze together in what's known as a "flerd"
(flock + herd.....get it?)
