Why Your Family Deserves Locally Sourced, Sustainable, and Clean Protein

Families are becoming more conscious of where their food comes from and the impact it has on their health and the environment. With growing concerns over factory farming, industrial agriculture, and food transparency, sourcing protein from local, sustainable farms has never been more important.

Why Locally Sourced Protein Matters

Choosing locally sourced meat ensures that your family is getting fresh, high-quality protein while also supporting small farms in your community. Unlike mass-produced meat found in grocery stores, local farms prioritize ethical farming practices, animal welfare, and environmental sustainability.

• Freshness & Quality: Locally raised meat is often processed and delivered in smaller batches, meaning it is fresher and free from unnecessary preservatives.

• Traceability: When buying from a local farm, you know exactly where your food comes from and how it was raised.

• Supports the Local Economy: Investing in local farms helps strengthen rural economies and keeps money within your community.

The Benefits of Sustainable Farming Practices

Sustainable farming goes beyond just producing meat—it ensures the health of the land, animals, and consumers for generations to come.

• Grass-Fed & Pasture-Raised Animals: Animals raised on pasture have a more natural diet, leading to healthier meat with higher nutritional value, including beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids.

• No Harmful Additives: Sustainable farms avoid the overuse of antibiotics, hormones, and chemical-laden feeds, resulting in cleaner, more nutritious protein.

• Environmental Stewardship: Sustainable farming practices help protect soil health, reduce carbon footprints, and minimize waste.

How Lawler Farms Brings Quality Protein to Your Table

After decades working in the animal health industry, Phil felt the pull for a more hands-on approach. Growing up on a fourth-generation farm that raised livestock for both meat and dairy, he had a deep understanding of the value of healthy, sustainable protein. As the demand for locally sourced food grew, particularly in response to concerns over factory farming and the environmental toll of industrial agriculture, Phil knew there was an opportunity to provide something better for the community.

In 2024, Lawler Farms expanded to include a protein CSA. Phil introduced a variety of livestock to the farm, including pastured chickens, turkeys, heritage sheep, and grass-fed cattle. The CSA model allowed families to purchase shares in the farm's meat production, giving them direct access to high-quality, humanely raised protein. Members received a regular supply of fresh, pasture-raised meat—beef, pork, chicken, and lamb—raised with the care and respect that defined the farm’s philosophy. More and more families are discovering the benefits of supporting local farms and knowing exactly where their food came from.
