Growing grass, building soil & sequestering carbon guide the farming decisions at Marigold Livestock Company.

It begins with grass…

Growing grass is a critical component to Marigold Livestock Co. In order to raise pastured livestock, immense care needs to be taken for the land. Healthy soils need to be maintained in order for lush and diverse pasture to grow. Our ruminants graze the pastures and lay manure down. This manure is the richest, most natural form of fertilizer. Poultry scratch through the manure to help spread it, while also acting as the sanitation crew as they eat insects and parasite larvae. Pasture is then left to rest and for grass to regrow. This cycle repeats throughout the season. Each time ruminants come through, they mow the grass down, allowing it to stay in its vegetative state and continue to sequester carbon from the atmosphere.

…and it ends with nutrient-dense meats.

Livestock are being utilized to maintain healthy pastures and sequester carbon, and in the processes, they provide us with nutritious and delicious meats.
