Welcome to Perch & Pasture Co.
At Perch & Pasture Co., we’re not just farmers—we’re stewards of the land. Everything we do starts with healthy soil because healthy soil grows healthy animals and nutrient-dense food, which makes us all healthier.
We are, first and foremost, in the soil business.
Our Mission: Regenerating Land, Growing Nutrient-Rich Food
We believe that farming should work with nature, not against it. By focusing on regenerative practices, rotational grazing, and soil health, we create a thriving ecosystem where animals, plants, and people can all flourish.
Bringing Dairy Back to Harris County, GA!
Harris County was once home to thriving dairy farms, but those days have nearly disappeared. Our goal is to bring raw dairy back to our community by raising A2/A2 Jersey cows on pasture, producing small-batch, high-quality milk for families who value real, farm-fresh food.
Animal Husbandry: Taking Care of the Animal, Not Just the Herd
We don’t believe in treating cows like numbers—we treat the animal, not the herd. Every single animal in our care is monitored individually, milked individually, and given the attention they deserve. Animal husbandry is at the heart of our farm. We steward our livestock well, ensuring they live healthy, natural lives while playing their role in regenerating the land.
We are a family-owned, veteran-owned, hands-on farm doing things the old way—the way that works. Our goal isn’t just to farm but to restore the connection between healthy land, healthy animals, and healthy people.
farming the old way
100 times better than anything you purchase at the grocery store! Quality is unmatched. Everything is packaged for easy portions to thaw for dinner. The bacon and sausage is the envy of the campgrounds on family’s trips. The shoulders and butts smoke perfectly and we no long purchase honey baked ham now we can make a better version! Don’t think about it any more and just do it!

Today, we pause to honor and thank all veterans for their courage, service, and sacrifice. To those who have worn the uniform - thank you. Your dedication inspires us everyday.
As a proud veteran family, we hold this day close to our hearts. When our military chapter ended, we asked ourselves what mattered most, how we could continue to serve others, and what would bring us peace. The answer led us here - to our farm, where we nurture the land, care for our animals, and connect with our community. It's a journey of healing, growth and purpose - one rooted deeply in service and giving back.
We're also profoundly grateful for organizations that uplift veterans beyond their time in service. Groups like @farmerveterancoalition @ncat_org @homegrownbyheroes @davhq offer support, resources, and community to veterans like us, making new beginnings possible.
Today, let's stand together, honor those who have served, and remember the power of resilience, growth and community.
Feel free to share your own stories in the comments and join our community of support and gratitude!

๐จNew Arrival Alert ๐จ
Meet LONGSHOT MORGAN - our new British White bull. The name? It’s a nod to his arrival on Election Day, the historic patriot Daniel Morgan, and our very own Daniel’s past as a U.S. Army marksman.
His mission? Getting ALL our ladies pregnant - including the dairy cows. Here’s to hoping Longshot Morgan never misses the mark!

Our small farms and homesteaders need your help now more than ever! Hurricanes Helene and Milton have devastated countless small farms, leaving families struggling to rebuild their lives and livelihoods. These farms are more than just places that grow food—they are the heart of our community and the backbone of our local food system.
Our campaign, Roots of Resilience: Hurricane Small Farm Aid, aims to support these small farms in their time of need. We’re raising funds to help them cover critical costs, such as: ๐ธ Animal feed to keep their livestock healthy ๐ธ Fencing supplies to rebuild damaged boundaries ๐ธ Medical supplies for both farmers and animals ๐ธ Operational supplies to restore essential equipment ๐ธ Animal replacements and rehoming for those who lost beloved animals
Together, we can help these farms not only survive but also thrive again. Your donation will have a direct impact on these families and their ability to continue providing fresh, local food to our community. Every contribution makes a huge difference!
โก๏ธ Please visit GiveSendGo: Roots of Resilience to donate and share this post to spread the word.
Thank you for your support in helping our farmers rebuild. Let’s plant the seeds of resilience together!

Double take! Any farmer knows the feeling of looking out the window and seeing a blur of cows and have a slight panic attack that they are on the wrong side of the fence. The cows were in fact on the right side of the fence ๐

Me to my younger self… Hey, you are going to be learning all about bull semen, their specs and AI - not that AI - the original: artificial insemination
Younger self * spits out tea* … whoa hold up, what on earth?!?! I think you have lost your ever lovin’ mind!
The losing my mind part is still up for debate but yes, here we are searching the inter webs for jersey semen that is meets our standards. It’s tantalizing ๐ I mean if you aren’t constantly learning new info and obtaining skills are you really living?
Reminds me to update my resume: skilled in semen selection and impregnating cows.

Bless their hearts! The escape artists were at it again and this time decided to play on the rabbit hutch. Poor Holly (one of our mini Rex does) was being invaded.

It’s that time… time to refill the minerals! We only use @redmondagriculture here on the ranch. Since spring flush has begun we make sure the cows get plenty of minerals. 10 fine with garlic ๐ง helps keep flies and other pests under control. You can smell their garlic breath on the wind for miles! We also give them beef minerals and it’s interesting to see which side they lick up more. #regenerativegrazing #britishwhite #britishwhitebeef #veteranstofarmers #homegrownbyheroes #georgiagrown #regenerativeagriculture #supportlocalfarmers
Everyday is an egg hunt day over here! Found this little best in my garden. Silly chickens. #regenerativeagriculture #crazychickenlady #farmfresheggs #egghunt #easteronthefarm
Spring is in full bloom over here! Stella is making a nest right outside my bedroom window and she thinks she’s being sneaky. Stanley blew her cover though by honking so loudly that I had to see what all the ruckus was about. I wonder if she was like duuuude you are supposed to protect our eggs not announce where they are to the world?!? ๐ค#buffgeese #livestockconservancy #mcmurrayhatchery #goslings #farmlife
Hey ladies… keep up the good work! We rotate our chickens behind our cow herd so they can spread the manure for us! It’s our literal chicken tractor. #regenerativefarming #buildingsoil
Starting the new fence line and the cows are always there to lend support or they are silently judging ๐ We are adding a permanent fence line to split our beef and dairy cows and to also have hard fencing for weaning time! #regenerativefarming #dairyfarming #veteranstofarmers #homegrownbyheroes

After spending almost two decades as a military family who oftentimes felt rootless, lost and trapped we wanted freedom, deep connection and choices. We wanted to heal our bodies and create a calm rhythm. While things are not always without chaos on a farm, the rhythm of our life is set by it. #regenerativefarming #grassfed #rotationalgrazing #homegrownbyheroes #livestockconservancy #veteranstofarmers #bethechange #unplugthematrix #soilbiodiversity

I had a whole post written out but my words seem very trivial today.

My girl Jolene. She’s spicy, spunky and plays favorites… it’s me, I’m her favorite. (Mandie)
She gives serious side eye, will size you up and no amount of treats will convince her to do anything she doesn’t want to do. I mean she’s basically me in cow form and I love her so much!
She is the only one we didn’t pregnancy check this weekend as she was not having it - not one bit. At one point, she started to come at me head lowered and I was like girl who do you think you are?!? Gave her a quick boop on the nose and she remembered. We ended with some ear scratches and all was well. It’s pretty safe to say she is pregnant since the others are all positive. She is British white perfection and I can’t wait to see her with a calf. #britishwhitebeef #britishwhitecattle

We, along with our animals, are working hard to build up our soil and ecosystem. When we take care of our animals and our land, they take care of us. Rotational grazing is imperative to this process. It builds soil biodiversity and structure, increases pasture drought resistance, sequesters carbon and prevents land erosion. While we’ve only had animals in our pasture for a year of rotation, we are already seeing massive shifts in the quality of this year’s grasses and the shift in our animals. The cows have needed less free choice mineral so far this year last which means there’s more nutrients in the ground! #regenerateamerica #rotationalgrazing #soilbiodiversity
It’s chick & duckling pick up day here on the farm! We are so excited to be able to share our favorite breeds with other local families. We include a small bag of our non gmo, soy & corn free starter feed mixed with herbs from our garden.
