Hensen Family Farm thrives in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, offering fresh produce and meats to local consumers. They prioritize sustainable practices, raising pasture-raised pork and beef, along with daily-gathered, pasture-raised eggs. Their livestock rotation enriches the pasture, naturally enhancing soil health and pest control. Customers can access their nutrient-rich products, including vacuum-sealed meats and rich eggs, at the on-farm market or via online preorders.
Hensen Family Farm is a first-generation farm nestled in the heart of Spotsylvania County, Virginia. Dedicated to sustainable agriculture, they offer a variety of fresh produce and meats that are thoughtfully raised and harvested. Whether it's their vibrant vegetables or rich pasture-raised meats, they focus on providing high-quality, nutrient-rich food to their community.
The farm utilizes a pasture-based model for raising livestock, emphasizing sustainable management. Cattle are rotated frequently to naturally fertilize fields, followed by chickens to disperse manure and control pests. This rotation helps improve soil health and carbon storage, underpinning their sustainable approach. Chickens are provided with a soy-free, non-GMO grain supplement alongside their natural diet, ensuring the eggs are nutrient-rich compared to supermarket options.
At Hensen Family Farm, customers can enjoy a selection of pasture-raised pork and beef, both processed in USDA-inspected facilities. The pork is available as cured or fresh, with customizable cuts ranging from slices to whole muscle groups. Beef is grass-fed and grain-finished, aged for 10 to 14 days post-processing, and sold down to the quarter animal, ensuring tender and flavorful cuts.
Their pasture-raised eggs, known for their nutrient density, are gathered daily, cleaned, and packaged. Sold for $5 a dozen, these eggs are available at their Saturday on-farm market or through online preorders.
Those looking to purchase can visit Hensen Family Farm on Saturdays during on-farm market hours. Additionally, they offer convenience through an online preorder system for customers who wish to secure their selections in advance.
Every practice at Hensen Family Farm is designed to support the environment. From enriching the pasture with livestock rotation to using non-GMO, soy-free feed, their commitment to sustainability is evident. This holistic approach benefits not only the land but also the quality of their produce.
