“Anywhere on the farm there should be something that’s very attractive to wildlife.

“We’re really trying to work with nature.” As we make our half mile trek from his barn out to his pigs Steve points out new peach and apple trees he’s planted along with his vegetable garden. “We’re trying to do as much as we can from an environmental standpoint,” Steve tells me as we walk his 130-acre farm of rolling hills full of free-range pigs and cattle. Steve and Marie Deibele from Golden Bear Farm in Kiel, Wisconsin are those kinds of farmers.

Often that means pairing up with farmers who are committed not to just making a buck but to farmers who take a vested, almost paternal, interest in the animals they raise.

That’s why we here at Outpost are serious about where our food comes from and when it comes to our meats there are strict guidelines that must be met before we even think about selling it to you. There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that conventional farming and industrial agriculture isn’t good for the earth, the animals…or for us.
