Pasture to Market
The Farm
A 50-acre working farm in Falmouth, Kentucky — raising pasture-raised lamb and pasture-raised pork the way it should be done. Real food, from animals raised on grass, sunlight, and shade.
Our Farm
Real Food From a Real Farm
Queen City Farm is a diversified working farm in Northern Kentucky. Alongside our Australian Shepherd program, we raise pasture-finished lamb and pasture-raised pork for families who want to know exactly where their food comes from — and how it was raised. Starting this season, we're bringing that meat directly to local farmers markets.
At the Market
Pasture-Raised Lamb & Pasture-Raised Pork
Everything we bring to market is raised on our farm from start to finish — available by the cut at our farmers market stand, or order online for farm & market pickup.
Rooted, rotated, never confined
Pasture-Raised Pork
Our hogs live the way pigs were meant to — in wooded paddocks where they root, forage, and wallow. No crates, no concrete, no routine antibiotics. The result is deeply marbled, rich-flavored pork you can trace back to the tree line it came from.
At the Market
- • Pork Chops (bone-in)
- • Ham Steak
- • Ground Sausage
- • Stew Meat
- • Bratwurst
- • Pork Tenderloin
...and more. We bring a rotating selection of cuts to market — ask us about anything you don't see here.
On grass, in the open, every day
Pasture-Raised Chicken
Our chickens rotate across fresh grass in mobile shelters — sunlight, forage, and bugs every day. No routine antibiotics, no confinement. The result is firm-textured, deep-flavored chicken that tastes like chicken used to.
At the Market
- • Whole Birds
- • Cut-Up Birds (legs, thighs, breasts, wings)
- • Boneless Skinless Breasts
- • Drumsticks & Thighs
- • Wings
- • Stewing Hens
...and more. We bring a rotating selection of cuts to market — ask us about anything you don't see here.
95% grass-finished, rotationally grazed
Pasture-Raised Lamb
Our sheep move across fresh Kentucky pasture on a rotational grazing system that builds soil and keeps the flock on clean ground. Lambs are raised on mother's milk and pasture and are about 95% grass-finished — they get a small amount of grain every few days as a boost, never as the bulk of their diet. The meat is mild, tender, and clean-tasting.
At the Market
- • Loin Chops
- • Leg of Lamb

- • Ground Lamb
- • Stew Meat
- • Rack of Lamb
...and more. We bring a rotating selection of cuts to market — ask us about anything you don't see here.

How We Raise It
Our Practices
"Pasture-raised" can mean a lot of things. Here's what it actually means at Queen City Farm.
Pasture & Forest First
Animals are raised outdoors in the environment they're built for — sheep on open pasture, hogs in wooded paddocks. Movement, sunlight, and forage are non-negotiable here.
No Routine Antibiotics or Hormones
We don't use sub-therapeutic antibiotics, growth hormones, or hormonal implants. A healthy animal comes from a healthy environment, not a feed additive.
Regenerative Grazing
Our rotational grazing system improves soil health, sequesters carbon, and keeps parasites in check naturally. The pastures are better every year because we manage them this way.
Raised Here, Start to Finish
Every animal we sell was born, raised, and finished on our farm. No feedlots, no middlemen, no mystery. You can come out and see where your food comes from.
Low-Stress Handling
Our animals know us. They're moved calmly, handled quietly, and processed at a small local USDA-inspected facility to minimize stress at every stage of life.
Transparent & Traceable
Every package can be traced back to the pasture, the paddock, and the week it was raised. Ask us anything — we're happy to walk you through it.

Pendleton County Farmers Market
From Our Customers
What People Are Saying
“Ordered a half hog last fall and honestly didn't realize pork could taste this different from the grocery store stuff. The bacon is something else. Already reserving for next year.”
“I brought a pound of ground lamb home from the Pendleton County Farmer's Market yesterday. I cooked it as lamb burgers for Sunday dinner. It was delicious! Lightly seasoned with lemon zest, garlic, salt and pepper and grilled to medium well. Hope to buy more in the future.”
“First time buying a whole hog — wasn't sure we'd go through it all, but between the ham, chops, and sausage we're almost out already. Way better than anything we were getting before.”
Good Questions
Frequently Asked
How do I reserve a whole or half share?
Reach out through our contact form with your preferred animal (lamb or hog) and cut sheet preferences. We take a 25% deposit to hold your share and collect the balance at pickup. We're a small farm, so availability is limited each season.
Do you ship?
Not yet — for now, all meat is sold at farmers markets or picked up directly from the farm by appointment. We're looking into regional cold shipping for 2027.
Where are your animals processed?
We use a small, family-run USDA-inspected facility about 45 minutes from the farm. All retail cuts sold at market are USDA-inspected and properly labeled.
Can I come visit the farm?
Follow us on social media for open farm days, behind-the-scenes footage, and chances to visit: Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
What's the difference between pasture-raised and grass-fed?
Pasture-raised means the animals live outdoors on pasture. Our lamb is pasture-raised and about 95% grass-finished — mostly grass and forage, with a small amount of grain every few days as a boost. Our pork is pasture-raised and supplemented with non-GMO grain (pigs are omnivores). For the full picture, see how we raise our animals.
What does regenerative farming mean?
It means we farm to leave the land healthier every year — not just to avoid harming it. The heart of it is rotational grazing: we move our animals across the farm in paddocks so every piece of pasture gets a long rest before it's grazed again. That rest builds soil and organic matter, pulls carbon down into the ground, and keeps parasites in check naturally. It's the reason our pastures get better every year instead of worn out. There's a lot more on our farming philosophy page.
Why do you move your animals so often?
Fresh ground is clean ground. Moving the flock and herd onto new pasture keeps them off the areas they've already grazed, which is our best natural defense against parasites — by the time the animals would return to a paddock, it's had weeks to rest and recover. It also spreads their fertility evenly across the farm and lets the grass regrow stronger. Better for the animals, better for the soil. You can read how this plays out for each animal on our how we raise them page.
Are you certified organic?
No, we're not certified organic. Certification is expensive, and we'd rather put that money toward keeping our prices reasonable for the families who buy from us. That said, we follow organic practices as closely as we can. We never spray chemicals on our pastures or use needless chemicals on our animals. The only exception would be a treatment needed to save an animal's life — and in that case, we would never sell that animal's meat to you.
