DreamCatcher
Farm is a small family-owned
farm located near Taylorsville, Kentucky, in Spencer County. The
DreamCatcher property is 170 acres of beautiful Kentucky farmland that
is home to grass-fed Devon and Angus cattle. Although grass-fed beef is
the primary livestock on the farm, lamb and pork are also raised using
sustainable farming methods.
Through management
intensive grazing, the cows are pastured on alfalfa, orchard grass, red
clover, and other native Kentucky grasses. No pesticides or chemicals
are ever used on the grasses. Likewise, during winter months, the
cattle are given alfalfa/clover/orchard grass hay that is grown on the
farm. No growth implants or hormones are ever used on any of the
livestock. Antibiotics are used only in life or death emergencies.
Never stressed or driven, the meat from these animals is tender and
lean. Extra care is given to the humane treatment of all DreamCatcher
animals - especially through the harvesting process.
DreamCatcher Farm
currently has sixty cows/calves, twenty-one sheep (ewes), and 18
Yorkshire hogs. Also, three dogs, Ellie (Chocolate Lab), Kiva (Yellow
Lab), and Max (black lab).
Sales of beef, lamb and
pork are made directly to customers through local farmers markets and
one retail outlet. DreamCatcher DreamBurgers are available in one local
restaurant, and these burgers are also grilled and sold at the St.
Matthews Beargrass Christian Church farmers market on Saturday morning.
DreamCatcher Farm is
co-owned by husband and wife team, Lelia and Stan Gentle. The farm is a
realized dream itself for Stan who spent summers as a child on a farm
in Alabama. When Stan's older cousin, Ray, let him drive the tractor
and help milk the cows, he was hooked. Even at twelve years old, he
knew the best job was found on the farm. Lelia's commitment to the farm
lies in providing good, safe, healthy food for the local community.
Veteran restaurateurs,
the Gentles have already spent a thirty-year career in the food
business as proprietors of Stan's
Fish Sandwich Restaurant in
Louisville, KY. Their three decade dedication to quality, freshness,
and purity (no chemicals or additives), have made this transition into
the all-natural production of a 100% grass-fed beef a very comfortable
one. Their passion for taking care of the earth, for sustainability,
and for great food drives them to provide quality DreamCatcher products.
