Welcome to Shaltz Farm

We are Zack and Holly 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 had a flock of quality registered Shetland sheep. We use to 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. We keep the site active to answer questions about how to raise plants and animals naturally at a small, homestead scale.
