Highlife homestead’s purpose can be described in one word
AHIMSA
More than a mission, deeper than a philosophy
We look at “livestock” differently
At our homestead, we apply the philosophy of ahimsa to everything we do. Ahimsa is a Sanskrit word meaning non-harming or non-violence. When you are in the business of raising livestock, this is a challenge, but one worth meeting.
