Our story

Know what’s on your plate.

We raise old-world heritage meats with care, intention, and respect for the way God designed them.

Chris and Tawney of Fluffy Butt Farms

Why we began

We wanted better for our family.

You shouldn’t have to wonder where your meat came from, how the animal was raised, or what is really in the food you’re feeding your family.

We’re the heart behind Fluffy Butt Farms in Battle Creek, Michigan, and we understand that frustration because we’ve lived it.

In 2020, grocery store shelves were empty and the options we could find were what we started calling “sad food”—wilted herbs, bruised produce, and questionable meats loaded with seasonings and processing that did not sit right with Tawney’s system.

So we took control of what was on our plate and began raising our own animals with care, intention, and respect for the way God designed them. Today, we raise old-world heritage meats for families who want to feel confident about the food they bring home.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11
“Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.”
Genesis 9:3
