Harris Natural Meat & Fiber is building a moderately sized, family operated, all-natural, diversified, livestock farm with a focus on the humane treatment of our animals. If we ever get enough land, we would then like to grow all of our own feed and produce all of our own energy needs. We hope to one day be able to offer our non-pork meat certified kosher or halal.
