During a media address at LINBISK FARMS, Mr. Asante shares the inspiring narrative behind the farm’s establishment.
Motivated by a commitment to providing his family with clean and healthy meat, LINBISK FARMS emerged with a dedication to raising animals in a natural setting, free from the chemicals and environmental hazards associated with industrial food production.
The journey began with the conversion of their conventional 2-acre yard into a vibrant pasture, involving the removal of turf grass and the introduction of diverse plant species to nourish their animals.
Recounting their initial venture into livestock farming with pride, LINBISK FARMS started with poultry. Implementing a strategic rotation system for chickens across the property, laid the foundation for a thriving pastured poultry business.
Mr. Asante’s farm serves as a testament to sustainable and ethical farming practices, reflecting his vision of agriculture as a dynamic force capable of bringing about positive economic change and fostering societal well-being.
