Parker Farms Cattle & Company is owned and operated by Travis & Chelsea Parker. The farm, located in Wingate, NC produces grass-fed & finished beef, forest-raised pork, pasture-raised poultry & eggs. Our family has been farming this land for over 100 years. Our goal is to produce nutrient dense, high quality, and healthy meats that you can be confident in eating. We take a holistic approach to farming and consider the whole system as a living, breathing ecosystem. When we make decisions for our farm, we consider how it will affect the animals, plants, soil, wildlife and of course the end consumer. Our cattle are moved to fresh pasture daily taking advantage of a multitude of forage species including grasses, legumes, forbs and brassicas. Our pigs are rotated frequently through the wooded areas of our farm foraging on grasses, forbs, legumes nuts, roots, and other goodies the forest provides. Our poultry are moved daily on pasture foraging for grass and insects and soaking up the sunlight. Our pigs and poultry diets are supplemented with locally milled NON-GMO grain.

Our Protocols:

Ethically Raised: We prioritize animal welfare. Our animals are raised where they have plenty of space to roam, move freely, and behave according to their natural instincts.

Forest-raised: Our pigs are raised in a woodland setting where they are frequently moved to fresh paddocks. They feed on roots, nuts, grasses, forbs and anything else the forest provides.

Grass-fed: Our animals thrive on a rich and diverse forage diet including multiple species of grasses, legumes, forbs, brassicas. When we say they are grass-fed that is exactly what we mean, they are never fed grains.

Grass-finished: Our animals are finished on grass-only. Our cattle are 100% grass-fed and finished. They are finished on a variety of flush forages including grasses, legumes, forbs and brassicas.

Humanely Handled: Our animals are handled using low stress techniques and are treated with dignity and respect. We prioritize the health and well-being of our animals.

No Added Hormones: Our animals are never given any growth hormones.

No Antibiotics: The animals in our meat program are never given any antibiotics. Any animal that becomes ill and needs antibiotics is removed from our meat program and sold as a cull animal.

Non-GMO grain fed: Our animals’ diets (pigs & poultry) are supplemented with locally grown and milled Non-GMO feed rations. Our pigs & poultry never fed any GMO-grains.

Pasture-raised: Our animals live 100% of their lives on pasture. They are moved frequently to fresh pastures and are free to roam their paddocks and soak up the sunshine.

We are truly living out our dream of raising our kids on our family farm while providing our community with top quality, ethically raised, and healthy meats. We bring transparency and passion to our work and look forward to sharing this with the Uptown Farmers Market community.
