Clear Creek Organic Farm is located in central Nebraska and has been in our family for the last 125 years. We offer a wide range of organically raised products such as 100% grass-fed beef, 100% grass-fed dairy products, soy-free pork, and organic vegetables.
Although we are not certified organic, we follow all the organic practices in everything we do on our farm. What got us started was our 100% grass-fed dairy herd of mainly Jersey and Guernsey dairy cows. From them we have our raw milk, variety of cheeses, butter and occasional ice cream, all made right here on our farm in our state-inspected processing facilities. We also have our Murray Grey beef herd that we are expanding. It is 100% grass-fed as well for all your beef cuts. For pork we have heritage breeds that are 100% soy-free.
We recently added a meat processing locker to our farm so we can process our beef and pork right here on the farm. This leads to better tasting and better quality meat because the animal is not stressed out from being transported. It is also open for other farmers/ranchers to have their animals processed here and for hunters during deer season.
Then we have our garden, which we have diligently worked on over the past year to build back the life in the soil, helping make our vegetables more nutrient dense. We do not use any pesticides or herbicides in our garden. We use most of the by-products from our cheese and meat plants to benefit our farm and products.
There are many ways to get some of our delicious products. Check out our website or reach out to find out how we can get them to you.

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 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!

Galen Bontrager Farm is a 'Beyond Organic" direct marketing, grass-based farm featuring Salad Bar Beef, Salad Bar Lamb, pastured pork, pastured broilers, pastured turkey, and pastured eggs.
As a former Polyface Inc. apprentice with Joel Salatin, I raise my animals using the Salatin methods that are highlighted in Michael Pollan's runaway bestseller The Omnivores Dilemma. (I'm actually mentioned in the book because I was an apprentice while Michael was there gathering the information for his book).
I am not "certified organic" but avoid the use of chemicals, growth hormones, genetically modified grains, antibiotics, dead animal parts, chicken litter, or drugs. Sales of some products are seasonal and others year-round; please contact me for availability. Custom beef is sold in wholes, halves, and quarters, and custom lamb in wholes or halves. Broilers and turkeys are custom ordered, processed, and picked up at the farm. On-farm sales of non-chlorinated eggs May–October.
I do not ship food anywhere and encourage people to patronize local producers. People are welcome to visit the farm, connect with their food, and see how it's raised. I greatly appreciate your support to keep local family farming alive and well.
For any inquiries about my products, ordering information, farm visits, and full-scale guided farm tours, please give me a call. I look forward to serving you. Joyfully at your service!
Galen Bontrager Farm, Galen Bontrager, 1840 500th Street SW, Kalona IA 52247. (319) 683-3199.
Our ranch, Graized, is based in Moweaqua, IL where we raise and finish all of our beef!
We began operation after the three of us graduated college with the vision of bringing a locally-raised, grass fed and finished beef product that benefited the soil all the way to the consumer. We were frustrated with all the misconceptions that exist around production agriculture so we set forth to bring our beef products direct to you, sharing our story all along the way.
We partner with local butchers from here in our backyard of Moweaqua to Springfield. Having these partnerships allows us to maintain full traceability of your beef and a high quality product, all while keeping your money local.
We follow the guidelines set forth by the American Grass Fed Association and prioritize transparency in every aspect of our business. We would love the opportunity to show you the ranch.

Grateful Graze began as a way to provide healthy food from healthy soil to local families. Today we offer 100% grass-fed / grass-finished beef, lamb, pasture-raised chicken and eggs, and timber-raised pork online. We offer home delivery around our region, pickup at a growing number of locations, and UPS delivery to select zip codes (enter your zip code on our website to find the location nearest you).
We have worked for many years to adopt soil-improving practices such as no-till, buffer strips and cover crops on our family farm in Cambridge, Illinois. Now we are bringing livestock back to the land in the way God designed the soil-plant-animal system to work. We believe that soil health, animal health, and human health are linked together in ways that we are just beginning to understand.
Our cattle are outside in fields, never eat grain, and move across the land like a herd. They never receive antibiotics, hormones, or insecticides.
The chickens are mobile pastured, moved daily. Our open-air mobile hoop house protects them from predators and gives them the shelter and daylight they naturally want. It holds 600 chickens and is pulled onto fresh grass each day, keeping the floor fresh while leaving the "fertilizer" behind. Using some ingenuity with our homemade remote-controlled winch, we move the house forward while keeping all the chickens safe from the moving building. Like the cows, the chickens never receive antibiotics, hormones, or insecticides.
Our pigs are forest-raised, allowed to forage, and root around in the trees, bushes, and open air. This offers a great life for the pigs, and they enjoy a natural habitat creating an environment with no need for antibiotics, hormones, or insecticides.
We are grateful for your belief in us, our team who makes this possible, the animals in our care, and the land we steward. Thank you for choosing Grateful Graze.
Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for daily updates. Join us for a farm tour to learn how our animals live and how they impact your family's health!

Kara Kesh Farms, located just outside of Rochester, MN, is currently offering 100% grass-fed and finished beef and pastured whole chickens.
At Kara Kesh Farms we take great pride in our farm and in sharing the bounty of what our land provides. Our century farm goes back five generations and our family's greatest desire is to be good stewards of the land that has been handed down to us. The mission of our farm is to use sustainable farming practices that both give back to the land and honor the way animals were created to live, while producing superior farm fresh products to enjoy and share with others.
We believe the best way to accomplish our mission is to implement grass-fed and pasture-raised farming practices to the fullest extent possible taking into consideration each animal species and their nutritional needs. This means we raise all our cattle 100% on grass from start to finish without any grain.
Our Red Angus cattle have the ideal genetics to thrive and flourish on a complete grass-fed diet. They live their entire lives outside on pasture under the sunshine and are never confined. They never receive growth hormones or antibiotics. Our broiler chickens are also raised out on the pasture and moved to a fresh piece of grass daily.
Find us on Facebook at Kara Kesh Farms and send us a message or email us.
Please reach out with any and all questions!
Thank you,
The Griffin Family

McGreal Family Farm is a small farming business rooted in Clayton County, Northeast Iowa. Farming is our lifestyle, and we strive to work in harmony with nature as we raise quality products for ourselves, our friends, and neighbors. We specialize in pasture-raised, 100% grass-fed custom beef which we raise from birth to butcher on family pastures here in the driftless.
We have mostly black cattle, a mix of Angus and Hereford breeds that are well suited to this environment and have a proven record of quality. Our cattle are pastured using an intensive rotational grazing strategy that allows them to always have access to the most nutritious plants and allows the native flora to replenish. We never feed corn, we never use hormones, and we never use antibiotics as prophylaxis. Our animals are very healthy out in their natural environment and very rarely need any sort of veterinary treatment. The only dietary supplement we provide is in the form of salt and mineral licks.
We currently have beef available for purchase by the pound, either off the farm or if you meet us at our farmers' market in Dubuque, IA on Saturday mornings. We are also currently taking reservations for quarters, halves or whole beef and we have trips to the butcher planned every month.
We also raise pastured Berkshire pork and have half and whole hogs available each fall. We will also have pork to sell by the pound while supply lasts.
Contact us at info@mcgrealfamilyfarm.com or give us a call at 563-245-1041 with any questions or to place an order.

Teelville Homestead is a small homestead of 6 ¾ acres located between the Quad Cities and Galesburg in West Central Illinois, owned and operated by Harold and Hope Teel.
Our dual-purpose chickens, Heritage turkeys and ducks are allowed to roam freely over our untreated 6+ acres of grasses during the day and penned up for safety at night. They are supplemented each morning with a small amount of grower feed or layer feed.
We sell both pasture-raised chicken and duck eggs year-round when available. Our ducks are either Pekin or Pekin/Rohan mixed.
We do not sell our dual-purpose chickens but do sell Cornish Cross meat chickens several times a year. These birds are kept in chicken tractors on pasture for their safety and moved every morning to fresh untreated grass on our acreage. They are supplemented with grower feed daily and then processed at a USDA certified processing plant in our region. A limited number of both Bourbon Red and Royal Palm Heritage turkeys and our ducks are also sold after being processed at the same USDA processing plant. We have also added Broad Breasted White turkeys this month that will be available for sale in the fall. The BB turkeys will be raised on pasture in tractors like the Cornish Cross and supplemented with high protein feed. We do not ship or deliver at this time but do make pick-up as easy and convenient as possible for our customers.
This year we added meat rabbits, selling them alive or dressing them for an added donation. Once the baby bunnies are weaned, they are kept in rabbit tractors that are moved to fresh grass every morning and supplemented with rabbit feed until they are large enough to process.
