Heritage Acres is located in Butternut, WI where we strive to raise meat products that have been naturally and ethically raised. The quality of meat that comes from the animals raised on our farm is superior to anything you can buy in the grocery store. The beef, pork, lamb, and poultry we raise are all considered “heritage breeds,” hence our name, Heritage Acres. These breeds are animals that were traditionally raised in yesteryear. These animals are superior because they are naturally resistant to parasites and diseases, which in return mean these animals, are not injected or given sub therapeutic antibiotics or hormones. The heritage breeds instinctively graze and forage well on pasture, which means this meat is higher in nutrients, vitamins, and essential fatty acids due to a balanced diet. The sustainable natural methods in which these animals are raised leads to a higher quality meat that is well marbled and full of flavor. Our cuts of meat are tender, juicy and flavorful.
On our family farm we traditionally raise Black Angus beef cattle for 40+ years. In 2010 we branched out and started raising heritage breed poultry, pork and lamb to compliment the beef we already produce. With the addition of the pork, poultry, and lamb we are able to have a very diverse offering of products to consumers.
In 2014 we purchased a former processing facility, now Heritage Meats LLC, allowing us to process the animals we raise. After much hard work the facility was granted a State of Wisconsin Meat Processing license. We are now able to directly market locally and naturally raised pastured meat to local consumers, stores, restaurants and institutions. Our facility also gives us the utmost control over quality and allows us to tailor to specific customer needs and wants.
