5. God has shown us the advantages of food produced in a wholesome way and provided us with the opportunity to
grow this quality food on our own farm. We are committed to supplying the healthiest products feasible by
making the most wholesome feed and quality care possible available for our animals. To us, this means a clean,
low stress environment, plenty of fresh air and sunshine and all the grass our animals can eat.
We hope everyone is pleased with the products they buy from Lake View Farm. Please feel free to contact us
