The birth of Fockler Creek Farm was the result of two common stories: A father with diabetes, and a son who wanted to farm but saw no way in. Sound like a strange combination? Shouldn’t in this day and age. Through the experience of a serious case of diabetes (6 shots a day) being cured with whole foods, and a dream of farming becoming reality with the use of innovative and unconventional techniques, Fockler Creek Farms took flight! Brian the previous farmer-to-be, and Scott the cured diabetic, along with their wives and children now raise beyond organic pastured pork, grass-finished beef and lamb, and pastured poultry. Fockler Creek Farm’s mission is “To implement and develop systems of agriculture that result in solvent farmers, sane people, and sound ecosystems.” Since we are all part of the whole, the creation, the ecosystem, or whatever other term you use to describe it, our mission directs us to provide you with food that nourishes and heals. We're also very passionate about this as we have seen the difference it has made in our own lives. We’re also very passionate about promoting farmer-centric methods of agriculture and ways of farming that affirm the value of life. For more detailed and technical information check us out on our website, focklercreek.com. We look forward to connecting you with the best our farm has to offer! Fockler Creek Farms, Margaret Wosepka, 2450 60th St. Ackley, IA 50601. (641) 373-4971. Frosty Acres Ranch specializes in quality grass-finished beef (split halves/halves/whole), free-range eggs, and local wildflower honey. Our animals are raised in a low stress, low input way, as nature intended. Our pastures are a mix of mostly native grasses, forbs, and legumes. The diversity of our pastures and our mineral-rich South Dakota soils allow our critters to get most of the nutrients they need to stay healthy just from the plants we grow. We practice rotational grazing which keeps our animals on fresh pasture and regenerates our soil organic matter, helping it hold moisture and minerals for healthier grass. Our animals stay healthy without the routine use of synthetic pesticides, hormones, or antibiotics. Quality is our top priority, so we aim to harvest our beef at 24 months, at the end of summer when the grass flush is winding down and they’ve had the maximum amount of time on our nutrient-rich pastures. Then we dry-age it three weeks to enhance the taste and texture. We think you will appreciate the care and effort we put into our products, and we hope you get as much enjoyment out of eating them as we got out of making them for you. Limited delivery options are available. Just call to discuss. We welcome on-farm sales of eggs and honey especially, so stop by and visit or see our story on Facebook. We are proud members of the South Dakota Grasslands Coalition and the Farmer Veteran Coalition. Stay Frosty! Frosty Acres Ranch, Bruce Staufer, 45028 177th St, Watertown, SD 57201. 605-880-0393. Fruitful Seasons Dairy is a family operated small farm located near Alexandria, MN. We are providing raw milk cheeses crafted from our small herd of Jersey cows. Our dairy is seasonal so the cows calve in the Spring. We move them to a fresh strip of grass several times a day. The cows also have free choice Thorvin Kelp and Redmond’s Real salt. The pastures are maintained to optimal quality without chemical fertilizers or herbicides. When pasture season is over, most of the cows are dried up for the winter and we stop making cheese until the next spring. We make our cheese from unpasteurized, fresh, clean milk so that all the beneficial properties of the milk are still intact. The cheese is ready after aging 60 days. We do not treat the cows with antibiotics or growth hormones. The left-over whey is given to the pigs which are on pasture. Currently most of the cheese is sold locally but we can ship it directly also. Please check our website for available varieties and other seasonal products like eggs, pork and beef.

In addition, we supplement their diet with a blend of organic grain. We choose to raise our animals in an environment where they can exhibit their natural behaviors and characteristics. We treat them gently and with respect so they do not live in fear of human touch or presence. This creates a much more pleasant environment for them to live in and allows us to work amongst them more safely. We offer a variety of beef and pork packages for delivery in the months of May, November and December. All of our meat is cut and freshly frozen just ahead of delivery.

County Road 12 SW, Montrose MN 55363. (612) 217-1770. McCluskey Brothers put the steak in your burger! We're grassfed beef producers, and when we grind our burger, we grind all the cuts but two (ribeye, tenderloin). Think ground sirloin plus. It's a burger beyond anything you've ever tasted. Just as important, our farm is committed to making the planet a better place. We rotationally graze our cattle, frequently moving the livestock from pasture to pasture. These frequent moves – or “rotations” – give our pastures a period of rest and regrowth between grazings. Roots grow deeper, soils recycle more carbon, plants grow stronger, there's less rain run off and less soil erosion. Biodiversity is enhanced. All with the help of cattle doing what nature has always intended: graze grass. We choose rotational grazing for a reason. Continuous grazing – giving cattle continuous access to the same pasture for the entire season – actually damages the pasture, weakens the plants and diminishes soil health. Honored to be among the first farms in the country certified Real Organic (2018), we're also USDA certified organic (certifying agency is ICS). And 100% grassfed at Shillelagh Glen Farms means no grain. Ever. We're the 4th generation on our family farm, a farm founded on the belief everything is connected → everything from the sunshine, soils, plants and cattle on our farm to the food on your family table to the air we all breathe and water we drink. And that's the way we farm. We're growing wholesome, healthy, flavorful food with sunshine, grass, and the rich organic soils of Shillelagh Glen Farms. Try McCluskey Brothers' grassfed beef and cheese, and maple syrup. Inquiries about beef shares (quarters or halves) welcome. One click brings 100% grassfed goodness direct to your door. Yes, we ship!
