ABOUT US
Mud Creek Farm is a small family owned farm north of Spokane, Washington using ethical, natural, sustainable practices to raise heritage beef, turkey, chicken, pork and eggs. No hormones, antibiotics or chemicals are used to enhance growth. Products are rich in Omega 3 healthy fats as our animals live outside and graze lush pastures. During winter, all animals eat locally sourced dried forages. Non GMO grains round out the diet for poultry and hogs. Processing is done on site. No feed lots, mass transit or large scale production methods are used. We raise heritage breeds rather than genetically modified animals which translates to slower growth and increased feed in order to reach market weights. Our prices are below what you will pay in specialty stores and farmer’s markets and higher than commercially raised products-- we believe the quality, flavor and safety is far superior.
The Large Black is thought to be the BEST pork due to the micro-marbled delicious Old World flavor. A heritage breed from southwestern England, nearly extinct in the 1960s; it remains endangered. Hardy animals, able to handle heat and cold; they effectively convert pasture and goodies found in the woods into meat. They are great mothers with good sized litters and long lives. Despite their large size they are very docile.
