Welcome to Shaltz Farm

We are Zack, Holly, and Bethany Shaltz, a "retired" military family, who moved to Michigan in 1997 to build Shaltz Farm on 25 acres of land we bought back in 1990. We had a small market garden and a flock of quality registered Shetland sheep. Now we just have chickens for eggs. We farm in a sustainable manner while following organic standards which don't conflict with that goal. We are a Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program (MAEAP) verified farm under Cropping, Farmstead and Livestock operations.
