OREGON MEAT CO.
About: Oregon Meat Co. is a multi-species, pasture raised livestock farm located in Scio, Oregon, producing some of the finest meats in the Willamette Valley.
They believe in harnessing the power of soil biology and sunlight to grow healthy pasture, avoiding the use of synthetic fertilizer and herbicides. Their livestock are the tool they use to harvest the nutrients from lush pastures and return them back to the soil. The result is high-quality, nutrient dense meats that are the byproduct of sustainable and responsible farming practices.
