---FOOD ALLIANCE CERTIFICATION PROJECT PUBLICATION:
In the heart of Washington’s Columbia Basin, just outside Ephrata, Pure Country Farms is redefining what it means to run a family farm in the 21st century. Founded nearly five decades ago by Paul Klingeman Sr., the farm has grown from a traditional pig operation into a multi-generational example of sustainable, ethical, and transparent agriculture. Today, Paul Sr.’s son, Paul Jr., partners Karrie and Melissa, and grandsons—Barrett, Nate, and Rowdy—work side by side to carry forward a vision rooted in respect: for the land, the animals, and the people they serve.

Free-Range Living
Our pigs enjoy the freedom to roam across expansive pastures, living in thoughtfully designed hoop structures that provide shelter while maintaining their connection to the natural world. These spacious environments offer constant access to fresh air, allowing our pigs to breathe deeply and move freely as nature intended. We nourish them exclusively with carefully selected Non-GMO grains and provide an endless supply of clean, fresh water, ensuring their nutritional needs are met with the highest quality ingredients available.
This natural, stress-free environment encourages our pigs to express their innate behaviors – from foraging and exploring to socializing with their herd. They can root in the earth, bask in the sunshine, and seek shade when needed, all while enjoying the comfort and security of their well-ventilated shelters. Our commitment to their well-being extends beyond basic care; we've created a harmonious ecosystem where each pig can thrive physically and mentally, resulting in healthier, happier animals that produce the exceptional quality meat our customers have come to expect and appreciate.

Natural Raising Process
Our commitment to pure, natural livestock raising sets us apart in today's agricultural landscape. We raise our cattle completely free of antibiotics, added hormones, growth stimulants, GMOs, and mRNA vaccines, ensuring that what reaches your plate is as nature intended. This dedication to clean farming practices means our animals develop robust immune systems naturally, resulting in healthier, more flavorful meat that you can feel confident serving to your family.
Our cattle enjoy an exceptional life roaming freely across the pristine Pacific Northwest mountains and grasslands for months at a time, where they graze on diverse native grasses and forage that contribute to the rich, complex flavors in our beef. When they return to our farm for the finishing process, we continue our commitment to purity by providing only certified Non-GMO grain feed, carefully selected to enhance marbling and tenderness while maintaining our strict standards. This traditional approach to cattle raising, combined with the natural beauty and clean environment of the Pacific Northwest, produces beef that truly embodies the essence of farm-to-table excellence.

Three Generations of Sustainable Excellence
From Paul Sr.'s 49 years of pig farming expertise to becoming one of the first Non-GMO verified meat producers in America, our family farm continues to set the standard for ethical, sustainable agriculture.
