The last 4 years living in the US has been a struggle to find good produce in the local stores....... Thank goodness there are still people who exist who are doing the right thing in bringing healthy food to our tables and treating our animals and environment the way they should be treated!!! I applaud you Brian and the Wholefoods company in your positive contribution to the food industry - I wish more would follow your way! I have eaten your fresh and delicious eggs, your tasty lamb and in December I will pick up my beef order and I am sure I won't be disappointed. Thank you Wagon Wheel Farm and keep up the good work!

Small-scale, local farms are sustainable and good for everybody, including the animals. Only problem is that Whole Foods is a national chain. Wagon Wheel, which is located in Maryland, doesn't provide lamb to every Whole Foods supermarket in the country, I'm guessing. And if it did, that would break the environmental sustainability portion of the model. Unless every Whole Foods outlet buys from these sorts of outfits locally, the model will remain broken. Hopefully Whole Foods continues the trend of buying from local, responsible suppliers across the country. I for one am willing to pay extra for this kind of harmony.

Awesome story and good luck hope the future will be a bright one for you and your family.

It is too scary what they do to animals in the "other types" of farms. it’s good to know that those farms still exist. It is too scary what they do to animals in the “other types” of farms.

It is about time someone cares about the quality of the food that we eat. We absolutely need to get back to supporting local, family owned farms, and get away from big, corporate farming.
