Good Life Grass Farms is all about regenerative agriculture and working with nature, not against it. Our sheep and cattle are adapted to our environment, and produce excellent quality meat from our diverse perennial pastures. We aim to provide our customers with the most dependable source of pasture raised, delicious, and nutrient packed protein. The meat we sell is the meat we serve on our table.

With our hair sheep and grass cattle seed stock, we aim to provide other ranchers with utra low-input animals that are super fertile, heat tolerant, parasite resistant, and very low maintenance in a fescue based pasture environment.

We see our role as farmers to be stewards of the land. Our 100% pasture raised, all-natural meats are raised in ways that builds soil resources and protect local water resources.  We focus on implementing agricultural practices that increase the sustainability of our farms and improve the health benefits of the food we produce.  We do this by working with nature, not against it.  For example, we utilize mob grazing and hair sheep to control undesirable plants (aka weeds), instead of using chemical herbicides to spray them. 

We have found over time that the practices that improve the life and health of our animals also improves the land in turn. We have dozens of small grazing paddocks on our farms which we rotate our livestock through. More frequent rotations and fresh grass leads to a healthier animal with a better functioning immune system.  Having a high number of paddocks allows plants more rest time between grazing events (21 to 45 days) and results in more and better forage without using chemical fertilizers. Always leaving some forage behind (often smashed down to the ground), not using chemical fertilizers, and not spraying our pastures with herbicides allows our soil microbial community to thrive and leads to more species and numbers of desirable soil bugs and earthworms. The increase in bugs, earthworms, and soil microbes leads to healthier soils. Healthier soils have better water infiltration, better water holding capacity, and are able to support a more diverse and healthy array of plants. Finally, you guessed it, a more diverse and healthy array of plants leads to animals that do not need antibiotics, pesticides, or supplements to stay healthy.

My wife, Teresa, and I were both raised on livestock farms and both have degrees in ecology and natural resources. Teresa is an Associate Professor of Biology and Environmental Health and Safety at Missouri Southern University in Joplin.  I work full-time on the farm. We are passionate about sharing the experiences of farm life and the natural world with our 4 children, our family, our friends, and our customers.  

Along with our friends, partners, and loyal customers, we are blessed to be part of a food system which builds relationships, positively contributes to environmental health, and fuels healthy lifestyles for everyone and every “thing” involved.
