Our Practices:
Our Beef, Pork and Lamb are of the highest quality due to our careful attention to genetics, natural stress-free environments and humane handling. This creates meat that is healthier, more flavorful and beneficial to the land. Our meat is available in whole and half animals, boxes and bundles and in individual cuts.
All of our animals roam on large, open pastures. Our Cattle are mostly grass fed and given barley but are not force fed anything. Our Berkshire pigs love to wander around their paddock where they can graze on grasses, root through the dirt and wallow in their self-made mud holes. Our young lamb is raised in the beautiful grassy mountains, pasture-raised and finished with barley.
OUR STORY
We are the Thomas family, and have been the owners and operators of Christiansen's Family Farm since 2017. While it might seem strange that we kept the farm named for the previous owners, we found that our values aligned so well with theirs that we were proud to keep the business going under their name.
Although we are relatively new owners of the Christiansen Farm name, we are generational farmers and ranchers with roots steeped in rich ranching history. Our story started long ago and the values and passion of those who have gone before us still runs deep on our farm today. We believe that we have been led to this place and find great joy as stewards of this land and these animals.
Our farm is located in the quaint little town of Fairfield, Utah. The 240 acres of beautiful grass and sagebrush is home to our animals, who have ample space to roam and forage.
We do not use any hormones, steroids or antibiotics on the animals we harvest for meat. We believe in sustainability and efficiency, and run our farm with these practices in mind.
We are a true family farm. Everyone has an important role and it takes sacrifice and hard work from each family member to make this farm operate! As a family we love raising cows and pigs. We cherish the opportunity to work together. Since our kids were small, they have always been taught to treat all animals with kindness and respect. We believe that our animals are provided to us by our Creator for our benefit. Since each animal will ultimately be harvested to provide us with protein and nourishment, we believe it is our moral duty as stewards of the animals to provide them with a happy, comfortable life.
