About Our Farm Practices

 We are a multi-generational family farm located near Bonner Springs, Kansas. We have been pork producers since 1954. We strive to raise the leanest and healthiest pork and beef  in a humane and natural environment. That means a lot of outdoor space, and a lot of attention to their well being.

 We raise our own corn and grind it ourselves with locally produced soybean meal to make up their diet. We don’t use any growth hormones or animal by-products in our feed rations. We do not use any routine antibiotics

 No gestation or farrowing crates are used on our farm. Our sows have their piglets in individual pens which are big enough for plenty of movement. The sows are let out twice a day while we clean the pens and check the babies. The piglets have an area where they can lay under a heat lamp to get a little extra warmth if needed.

 In the winter our pigs lie in a bed of straw which we produce from our winter wheat crop.

 In the summer they prefer to lie under a mist of cool water from the sprinkler system

 My brother Al and his wife Mary added beef to the operation in 1994. They are very attentive to the well being of each and every cow, as dad and I are of the pigs.

 The cows have access to pasture and hay all year long. We supplement with about 1-1.5 pound of grain each day. The grain and hay are all raised by ourselves. Like the pigs we grind and mix our own feed, no added hormones. No feedlots or confinement on our farms just a lot of wide open space.

 We have a great relationship with our packer which is located 11 miles from the farm. No long stressful rides for our animals.  

 We feel strongly about supporting your local American Farmer, "Buy Local Eat Fresh"
