Nick Race was born and raised in a small town in Massachusetts, where service to others was a way of life. From an early age, he served his community through the fire department and emergency services, while also growing up immersed in a rural environment that instilled a deep respect for land, nature, and self-reliance.
Nick pursued a degree in Fire Science and worked as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). Through years on the front lines of emergency medicine, one truth became undeniable: healthy food is foundational to healthy people. That realization sparked a calling—not just to serve his community in moments of crisis, but to serve them every day by producing clean, nutrient-dense food raised the right way.
That calling became Race Family Farmstead.
We are a first-generation farmstead rooted in regenerative agriculture and permaculture principles, committed to stewarding the land, honoring the animals we raise, and providing food you can trust—without compromise.
At Race Family Farmstead, we believe farming should regenerate the land, respect the animal, and nourish the people it feeds. Every decision we make is guided by long-term soil health, animal welfare, and transparency.
We work with nature—not against it—to build resilient ecosystems that produce superior food.
Our pigs are raised in the forests, where they are allowed to express their natural instincts and behaviors in a diverse, ever-changing environment.
The combination of natural forage and organic soy-free feed results in pork that is exceptionally clean, rich, and flavorful—allowing the premium qualities of forest-raised pork to speak for themselves.
Our poultry is raised on open pasture with constant access to fresh forage, sunshine, and clean ground.
This approach produces poultry with superior texture, flavor, and nutrient density—reflecting a slower, more intentional way of farming that honors both the bird and the land.
