About the Vendor | Appleton Farms Trustees Grown meats are produced at Appleton Farms. Our livestock helps us manage our farmland, sequester carbon, and convert foodstuff indigestible to humans into high-quality protein. 

We raise 100% grass-fed beef and lamb, and forested pigs, on pasture & cover crops. Our beef cows and sheep are moved daily to fresh grass, enabling the pasture to quickly recover, providing more food throughout the season.  

The Trustees engages in regenerative production livestock farming and utilize that production activity to authenticate meaningful farm-based experience across our farms. The animals that we raise have a purpose whether that be production for meat, milk, and eggs, as critical elements of farmland resource management, or as accessible educational livestock. Trustees farms are distinguished by humane practices and conscientious attitudes evidenced in our pastures, farmyards, fields, and livestock infrastructure.  

Our livestock are provided with an environment that enables them to exhibit their natural instincts. These instincts include but are not limited to bonding with offspring, foraging, flying, rooting, grazing, suckling, nesting, socializing with adequate group sizes, and the ability to flee harm. All livestock are provided the opportunity to forage as appropriate to their species, and forage areas are maintained through rotation. We endeavor to manage closed flocks and herds. Livestock are provided adequate, natural nutrient-rich diets appropriate to species-specific digestive anatomy. All breeds are selected with consideration of their ability to thrive year-round in Massachusetts climate conditions.  Management is focused on promoting health over treating disease with the understanding that providing sufficient rearing environments support livestock health and wellbeing.
