Pettit Pastures is a family owned and operated farm near Milaca, Minnesota. Tim and Alice Pettit along with their son and daughter in-law Jake and Lacey Pettit work together to operate the farm. Tim grew up on his parents' dairy farm in central Minnesota and was in the dairy business until the mid 1980′s. From then until 2012 Tim was following a different career path. Over the years, the agricultural shift away from the family farm into a more industrialized farming system bothered Tim and his family. In 2012, the Pettit's decided to get back into family farming by raising Grass-fed beef. At Pettit Pastures, we focus on bringing you the highest quality Grass-fed beef in an environmentally friendly way, by focusing on three things: the soil, the grass, and the cows.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
