Thanks for visiting
Grimm Acres, Diversified!

We raise our heirloom livestock and poultry for our own use, and to sell as breeding stock and for butchering. We do not currently ship anything other than hatching eggs, so are available for local pickup only.

We will be glad to have an animal transported to our local packing plant, Farmers Packing, for processing to your directions. Pickup of the processed meat will then be up to you. Our numbers are limited, so it’s best to just contact us for availability on any products.

We welcome all inquiries, general questions, and visits whether you are interested in purchasing, or simply interested in general.

We are a proud member of the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy (ALBC), and share the organization’s goal of protecting heritage farm animals and poultry from extinction by “working to conserve historic breeds and genetic diversity in livestock”. The breeds we raise here on Grimm Acres were primarily selected from the ALBC’s Conservation Priority List.

Our farming model is a composite of a homestead style and some “permaculture” system ideas with an eye toward sustainability. We utilize a “mixed-species grouping of animals that consistently stay together under free-ranging conditions” known as a “flerd” (not exactly a flock, not really a herd), as we understand the concept presented in the 2004 edition of “Grass roots”.

We are proud to be certified by “Animal Welfare Approved” (AWA) and share wholeheartedly their philosophy that “..our own best interests are intrinsically linked to animals and to the environment we share.”

We would welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best service in the industry.

Visitors are welcome to stop by and take a look at the animals. A phone call will ensure that we are on hand to greet you, and show you around.

Call (618) 445-1896 to check availability of livestock and poultry for purchase, or to arrange a visit.
