About Us

Washtenaw Meats is a collaboration of local livestock farmers, including nkidsfarm, Dancer Creek Farm, and other small family farms across Southeast Michigan. Together, we are rebuilding a resilient local meat system by connecting our community with grass-fed beef, pasture-raised pork, lamb, poultry, and other farm-raised meats.

Our farmers are committed to responsible animal care, healthy pastures, and transparent food production. By working together, we make it easier for families, restaurants, and retailers to access high-quality Michigan-raised meats while supporting the farms that produce them.
