Our Black Angus cattle are raised naturally in a free-range herd. Their diet consists of grass and legumes, completely free
from pesticides, hormones, antibiotics or additives. Their water supply is from natural, spring-fed creeks. They are raised
in accordance with animal welfare, grassfed, and organic standards. Our cattle are all born on the farm. The calves are never
separated from their mothers, instead weaning naturally. They grow to maturity without any hormones or additive grains.
Grass fed cattle are known for lower saturated fat content, higher omega-3 fatty acid content.
Free range herding and natural growth unenhanced by hormones or antibiotics assure a more humane life for the cattle.
Sales of cattle
to the consumer occur between June and October.

Harvest Hills Farm is located in America's newest viticulture area, the Upper Mississippi River Valley
Viticulture Area. Its distinct, preglacier, driftless geology has allowed it to be recognized
as unique for wine grape production. Our vineyard has been cultivated to capture this uniqueness.
Our estate wine
grapes have been selected to produce the finest red and white wines possible in the growing region.
We offer three
reds: Chelois, Frontenac, and Noiret--and three whites: St. Pepin, La Crescent, and Frontenac Gris.
Grapes are cultivated for sale
to serious home wine enthusiasts who want the experience of picking and processing their own estate grapes for home
wine making.
Wine grape harvest
and sales are by appointment only, during the harvest season, generally the first and second weekends in September.
If you are a home wine making enthusiast, and would like to try grape varieties unique to our viticulture area, we look forward
to meeting you during the next harvest !
