Pine View Farms
Melanie and Kevin Boldt and their Family own Pine View Farms. Kevin’s Great Grandfather settled on that yard in 1901 with his wife and 18 children. All Pine View Farms poultry and livestock are raised in a humane, low stress environment on a healthy vegetarian diet, without the use of growth promoting medication or hormones. The farm follows an all natural protocol and is certified though the On Farm Food Safety Assurance Program for Free Range Production to emphasize health, cleanliness and safety though every step of the animal’s life. More importantly they are “customer verified” as they welcome you to come visit, ask question and learn about the day-to-day activities.
The Boldts believe you deserve the simple pleasure of eating good food grown well. They believe in the importance of knowing where our foods come from and where it is produced. Pine View Farms are environmentally responsible and socially positive.
Pine View Farms mixes modern day tastes with traditional practices by:
- Preserving the art of farming and and craft meats
- Working with local Partner Producers
- Utilizing sustainable farm practices.
- Using the whole animal --- nose to tail.
As the owners explain: “Our farm is a personal reflection of who we are and what we believe. We are on a journey to making meat better and thank you for joining us along the way!”.
