Pastured Free-Range Poultry, and Forested Pork in Oregon

Located in Oregon wine country just outside Carlton, Oregon, Tabula Rasa Farms raises grassfed/grass-finished cattle, heritage breed hogs and pasture-raised laying hens, naturally and respectfully. I know the challenges we all face in trying to eat healthily, and it is my heartfelt mission to be the source you trust for clean, all-natural, nutrition-packed grassfed beef and pork, and eggs that are worthy of you and your family.

Raising cattle through rotational grazing allows t

Raising cattle through rotational grazing allows them to roam freely within designated paddocks, enjoying fresh grass while naturally fertilizing and gently tilling the soil with their hooves. Every week, they move to new paddocks, supporting healthier land and livestock.This practice is at the heart ❤️of regenerative agriculture, an approach dedicated to nurturing the planet. By enriching our soils, supporting vibrant ecosystems, and even helping to offset carbon emissions, rotational grazing is our way of giving back to the earth—and you’re invited to be a part of this positive impact!”#regenerativeag #grassfed #RotationalGrazing #EnrichedSoil

With growing awareness around chemicals, additives

With growing awareness around chemicals, additives, and ultra-processed foods—and frequent headlines about recalls and outbreaks—there’s value in choosing nutrient-dense foods that prioritize health from the ground up.Being intentional with everyday food choices can make a big difference. Opting for nutrient-rich, whole foods like pasture-raised meats nourishes you and your loved ones in the ways humans have trusted for thousands of years. Connecting with local farmers and food producers who are dedicated to feeding the community naturally and sustainably, is a sustainable way to keeping both your health and local economy thriving.#ShopLocal #EatSeasonal #SupportYourFarmer #KnowYourFarmer #nutrientdensefoods

The rain is here and falling by the buckets, but here at the farm, we’re prepared for it. 🌧️.Because of our water retention permaculture efforts, we’re able to manage heavy rainfall by slowing down the water flow, allowing it to soak into the soil instead of running off, preventing erosion and flooding while storing water for later use during dry periods.#WaterRetention #Permaculture #regenerativeag #healthysoil

A quiet moment on the farm, where each day begins

A quiet moment on the farm, where each day begins anew and reconnects us with the rhythms of life. It’s a time when the world speaks in a language beyond words—a reminder of why we feel so fortunate to be farmers on mornings like this.#SunriseInTheValley #WillametteValley #FallMornings #FallOnTheFarm #PastureRaised #WendellBerry

Winter is coming, but our laying hens are cozy! 🐔❄️ Last year, we transformed one of our garden hoop houses into a snug winter haven for our chickens, and they (and we) loved it so much that we’re making it standard practice.Repurposing existing structures like this helps us keep things sustainable and embrace the full cycle of farm life. ♻️🌱 #CoopComfort #FarmFreshEggs #CluckingJoy #ChickenProtection #FarmCycle

What a weekend! 🎃 We hosted our very first Pumpkin Party and brought our donkeys over to join the fun. Our mama cows and their 2024 calves were very curious about their new, mysterious friends!Though our animals usually don’t share paddocks due to their unique mineral and feed needs, they do get to interact from time to time—and it’s always entertaining to watch! 🐄🐴

Our farm team never ceases to amaze us with their creativity and problem-solving skills! Check out their latest invention: the Turkey Treat Dispenser—a fun and engaging way to keep our turkeys entertained and active. 🦃 They crafted it using a simple 5-gallon bucket, filled with sunflower seeds, and drilled 1/2” holes around it, so the turkeys have to work for their treats all day long. This batch of turkeys is extra lively, and this clever solution gives them the stimulation they crave. We love watching them peck, play, and stay happy! #farminnovations #farminventions #regenerativeturkey #pastureraisedturkeys #carltonoregon

A cool comparison! 🥚 Our new batch of pullets are beginning to produce eggs - specifically, these rich brown eggs on the left! The side by side comparison is just a difference in age between the chickens. .We love being able to physically see how the environment, age, and diets can alter what comes from our regeneratively-raised chickens!#pastureraisedchickens #pastureraisedeggs #browneggs #organiceggs #supportlocalfarmers
