Our Organic Livestock

Our organic family farms raise organic chickens, cattle, and bison.  Farmer Direct Co-op markets full liner loads of organic cattle and bison to organic slaughter plants and food manufacturers.  For organic farms who market their livestock directly to the public please go to the "Resource" section of our website.
