MN 55718-8141. (218) 384-9350. 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!

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.

County Road 12 SW, Montrose MN 55363. (612) 217-1770. McCluskey Brothers put steak in your burger. How? 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, less rainwater runs off resulting in less soil erosion, and biodiversity is enhanced. All with the help of cattle doing what nature has always intended: graze grass. We believe you have the right to know the farming practices that produce your food. Different practices yield different results. 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... sunshine ↔ soils ↔ plants ↔ cattle ↔ our farm ↔ food ↔ your family table ↔ our planet. 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!

Pettit Pastures is a family owned and operated farm near Milaca, Minnesota. We raise 100% Grass-fed Lowline cross beef cattle. Lowline cattle are smaller framed than most commercially raised beef cattle in the U.S. today. Their smaller size helps create high quality beef on a forage diet without the need for grain supplements. Lowline cattle are very calm and this works well with our low stress livestock handling procedures. We do not use growth hormones or antibiotic supplements on our cattle.
