Welcome to Raising a Farmer!

My name is Brenda and I am married to Nathan. Together we are raising our 2,  6th generation farmers. For over 130 years generations of Nathan’s family have been farming and raising their family in the very same spot we are raising our children. It is humbling to think of all the women who came before me in the exact same yard as I am.

On our farm we all share the work load of getting chores done. We are a family farm with our kids with us every step of the way.  

Over the years our farm has seen hardship, joys and change. Our farm has transitioned from a dairy farm to a direct market farm in 2019. Today we raise heritage breeds of pigs, lambs, poultry and beef. Proteins raised on our farm can be found in local restaurants, schools, farmers markets and direct from us.   

It is important to us and our farm for our customers to get to know their farmer, where their food comes from, how it is raised and supporting rural communities. The only silly question is the question not asked.
