At Kummrow Farm's Battle Creek Beef & Bison LLC, we breed and raise both American Bison and Murray Grey cross Beef on our fifth and sixth generation farm located in Waukesha County. These hearty breeds were chosen because they thrive on a grass-based diet, are easy calving, are wonderful mothers and produce lean, flavorful meat. All breeding, in both herds, takes place naturally, in the pasture. Our son Nate now raises heritage hogs (pork) here also.

We have an on-farm store where we sell beef, bison and pork by the cut, any quantity desired, as well as an assortment of sausages. Our sausages are made MSG-free. Our store is open Thursday and Friday 1PM to 6 PM and Saturday 9 AM to 1PM or “when we’re home, we’re open.” We are located 2 miles west of Hwy 67 on County Hwy DR, or Delafield Road just south of Oconomowoc, WI.

We raise our cattle on homegrown grass and hay, grown without chemical herbicides or pesticides. We use natural substances and compost to fertilize our fields. No hormones are ever used in raising our animals. Antibiotics are given only to save the life of an animal…a very rare occurrence. We do not feed any grains to our cattle. They are 100% grass fed and grass finished on pasture.

Our meat is processed and frozen in a state-inspected plant after undergoing a period of aging for ultimate flavor. Custom cutting is available when ordering a half or split side. Note: we do not take credit cards at this time.

Brass Family Farm: 100% Grass-fed Red Devon Beef

OUR PHILOSOPHY: We believe farmers have an exceptionally important calling: To grow and raise the most healthy, nutrient-dense food possible so that current and future generations can thrive and be nourished.

OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES: We are not in the commodity beef business. We are in the food production business and are directly responsible for the health, intelligence, and longevity of the consumer. We refuse to compromise our convictions for the almighty dollar. Sadly, not every farmer or business shares in this philosophy.

OUR FAMILY: We are a 4th generation family farm located 5 miles Southwest of Rockford, IL. near Stillman Valley, IL.

OUR CATTLE: We raise Red Devon cattle. Red Devon cattle are one of the oldest heritage beef breeds in existence today. They are the breed that the Pilgrims chose to bring with them to America in 1623. George Washington also owned a herd of Red Devon cattle. Devon grass-fed beef has a particularly rich and robust flavor that is juicy and fine-textured.

OUR FARMING PRACTICES: Our herd is 100% grass-fed. They never receive grain. Our cattle are born on our farm and spend their entire lives on pasture. During the growing season, our herd is moved once a day to a new “salad bar” slice of pasture. During the dormant season, our herd either grazes winter cover crops or is fed grass/alfalfa hay.

Please visit our website for more information about our farm and our 100% grass-fed beef.

What we offer your family is the same meat we feed to our family. You get the very best of what our labors produce. Put another way, we won’t ever sell you something we wouldn’t happily eat ourselves.

Brass Family Farm, Stephen Brass, 9402 North Meridian Road, Stillman Valley IL. 61084. (815) 218-5076.

Gifts From the Good Earth is a MOSA-certified organic farm offering certified organic, pasture-organic sealraised poultry and organically raised grassfed/grass-finished Belted Galloway beef.

Our poultry is fed a certified organic feed ration supplemented with pasture grasses. Our birds, averaging 5 pounds in weight, are processed at a USDA-inspected plant and sold as frozen, whole birds. This allows us to have them available for our customers year-round.

Our beef, which is processed June – November, can be purchased as individual cuts year-round, or in quarter, half or whole animal quantities when ordered in advance of our processing dates.

Except for during the winter months, when our beef herd is fed dry hay made on our farm, our animals are grazed in an Intensive Rotational Grazing system. This ensures that they eat primarily from lush, tender pastures, which are grown from soils receiving only natural amendments such as compost, green manures and minerals. Because of this, you will find our meats to be a more pure, fresh and flavorful product.

Our farm, which is approximately 2 miles west of Milladore, is centrally located between Marshfield, Stevens Point, Wausau, and Wisconsin Rapids. We welcome farm visits if scheduled in advance.

Our herd consists of Galloway cattle, a Scottish breed, ideal for pasture grazing in the cold Wisconsin climate.

Their diet is supplemented with grains that are free of artificial hormones and antibiotics. Our chickens are available in July and August, but we will take pre-orders in February.

The Grassway Farm is a diversified certified organic (MOSA) grass-based dairy farm located between cold, clean Lake Michigan and picturesque Lake Winnebago. In addition to milking 100 dairy cows, we direct market bulk chicken, turkey, brown eggs, beef, and pork. All of our animals (beef, pork, chicken, and turkey) are fed certified organic feed.

The farm consists of over 200 acres of fresh green growing meadow grasses. After each milking our herd of jerseys and Holstein cows takes a leisurely stroll to a new paddock of fresh grass and spends the day grazing, ruminating and resting. The cows receive only 2–3 pounds of oats or barley, kelp, naturally mined mineral and sea salt per day to help them maintain body condition.

On our farm, everyone grazes, so the egg-laying free-range chickens are allowed to dine on juicy bugs, tender grasses and a small amount of grain. Our pastured meat birds live in moveable, open bottom pens out on the same pasture. They are protected from predators, but can still enjoy the sunshine, bugs and grass. The Jersey steers graze with the dairy cows to get the very best pasture plus a small amount of grain. Finally, our "pigerator" pork comes from pigs that are allowed to do what they truly love to do: root through and compost the winter bedded pack from the cows.

We would love to hear from you. May you be able to live close to the land.

Harmony Valley Farm has been dedicated to growing the highest quality certified organic vegetables for over 40 years. Our farm, located in beautiful southwest Wisconsin, is co-owned by Richard de Wilde and Andrea Yoder. While our focus is on growing vegetables, animals are also an important part of our farm and help us maintain hillside pasture areas not suitable for vegetable production.

Our vegetables and meat are distributed throughout the Midwest through our CSA program. We offer CSA share delivery in the following areas: Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN; Madison, WI and the greater Madison area; La Crosse, WI; Onalaska, WI, Viroqua, WI.

We raise certified organic, grass-fed beef and pastured pork. Our beef cattle are rotationally grazed on pastures in the spring, summer and fall. During the winter we feed organic hay harvested during the summer. Our pigs spend their days exploring the wooded hillsides, returning to their home base at the end of the day to enjoy vegetable scraps from the packing shed. 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.

Hickory Springs Farm is nestled in a beautiful picturesque valley with springs flowing from the hillsides, many coming together to help form Seymour creek. We have been MOSA certified organic since 1999 for dairy, we started the beef soon after. We also have brown eggs, and broilers. We like to hatch our own chicks for our laying chickens so there are occasionally some very tasty five month old roosters to cull.

Our beef is USDA inspected The closest butcher is an hour and half drive, Lederburs in Winona, MN. the beef is cryovac packaged. The organic pasture raised broilers are also USDA inspected and cryovac packaged at Decorah, Iowa.

We practice rotational grazing, though not intensive. We don't have to chase our animals—for the most part they follow us everywhere they want us to put them. The animals are beautiful to watch and it's so relaxing to take a walk around the pastures to enjoy them. Even though initially they come running and set up such a chorus of bawling that you can't hear, they calm down to eating soon. We also have seasonally asparagus, rhubarb, ramps (wild leeks), and watercress lot'sa springs. Come for a visit, bring your tents, etc. and camp in our woods. Several weekends are open. Gary and Darline & children.

The Homestead is a 125-year family farm in the rolling hills of Grant County, Wisconsin. We converted this dairy farm into a ranch to raise grass-fed beef. Our cattle are born in late spring on the open range, raised by the mother cow on chemical-free milk and grass and watered at a spring-fed stream. Grass-fed beef is often called "beyond organic."

The average serving of beef has lived on four farms, traveled through five states, and spent months confined in feed lots eating things cows were not meant to eat. Our cattle spend their entire lives on the range, eat lots of grass, have a cool drink and lay in the shade to think about things. The result is lean, clean, tender and reasonably priced meat.

Processed in the fall, seven miles from the pasture at a state-inspected facility. Order a few packages of selected cuts or quarters, halves or whole animals cut to order. Farm pick-up preferred, but we'll deliver within reason. No need to pay Farmers' Market premiums for healthy food. Give us a call. We'd love to meet you and be your farmers.

The Honest Bison started as one family’s quest to eat healthier and get fit. When it turned out that sourcing authentic, unprocessed food was harder to do than it sounds, the family decided to do what they could to change that.

Our ranchers practice a method of ranching called Holistic Management, which promotes the growth of a large variety of native grasses that are in turn used to feed the animals. This enhances the flavor of the meat and eliminates the need for fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and other chemically enhanced farming practices. In addition to our pasture management, all of our bison are processed at USDA inspected plants. Our bison are raised on holistically managed ranches in South Dakota, Oregon, Montana, and Wisconsin. Our elk and venison are raised in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

We promise The Honest Bison will always provide meat of the highest quality—100% grass-fed and humanely and sustainably raised. If we wouldn’t feed it to our family and friends, we wouldn’t feed it to you.

100% Grass-fed Bison, naturally-grazed Elk and Venison we offer from our online shop:

  • Steaks (Tomahawk, New York Strip, Rib Eye, Tenderloin, Sirloin, Skirt, Flank)
  • Chuck Roast
  • Sirloin Tip Roast
  • Round Roast
  • Tri-Tip
  • Ground and Ground Blend
  • Burger Patties
  • Brisket
  • Short Ribs
  • Bratwurst
  • Broth Bones and Bison Tail

Kinnikinnick Farm is a diversified, pasture-based farm on a smallholding in Northern Illinois. Our mission is to produce exceptional meat, AWA logoeggs, and in-season produce for making delicious and nutritious family meals. We also offer other high-quality products from neighboring farms.

Our free-range laying flock is certified by Animal Welfare Approved. We raise slow-growing meat chickens on pasture using temporary fencing and Range Coops we move daily. We buy-in grass-fed, grass-finished steers from Dietrich Ranch for whole-steer ground beef. We also sell a line of unbleached, unbromated heirloom and ancient grains grown and milled at Hazzard Free Farm in Pecatonica.

Our feed is local non-GMO grain mixed and ground to our specifications by a local, family-owned, feed mill. No hormones or antibiotics. We keep a small herd of dairy goats that provides milk and cheese for our family, helps us manage our pastures, and provides a winter bed pack which we compost in the summer and spread on the market garden in the fall.

We started out, in 1994, as certified organic produce growers. Today we are a Chicago-area, direct-to-consumer, e-commerce farm with weekly pick-up sites in Chicago, Evanston, the western Chicago suburbs, and on the farm.

Lambsquarters was born in a quiet way several years ago with a shepherd's heart, a handful of ewes, and a vision for providing a healthy, wholesome, and great-tasting product to our local community here in central Wisconsin. We are located 6 miles north of Athens on Highway 97, and everyone is welcome to visit the farm and see how the animals are raised.

While most of our lambs are home-born, occasionally we do buy some feeders in the spring to better utilize our pastures. Our lambs start out on their mother's milk and then are moved out to pasture as soon as the spring grass starts growing. They remain there until fall, then some are moved to another field where they are finished on turnips and local hay. Only the lambs finished without the turnips qualify for listing on Eatwild as only the turnip greens are allowable. Our goal is to raise the lambs 100% organic, but we are not certified organic.

The lambs are normally ready in November or December, and we generally have lamb available through April of the following year. Quantities are somewhat limited so order early. We usually use a local processor, but can always take them to the facility of your choice. We offer lamb as whole, half, or individual cuts.

We look forward to hearing from you. Our goal is to have 100% customer satisfaction! Here is a testimonial from one of our local repeat customers: "Your lamb is the best I've ever had: so tender and juicy, just right. Next year I'm going to buy five from you!"—Victor, Athens WI.

LoveTree Farmstead Cheese produces of some of the world's finest and most unique sheep cheese and dry-aged "European" style grass-fed organic lamb.

LoveTree is organically farmed with 130 acres devoted to grazing lands and 70 acres to wildlife habitat. This not only makes for a healthy environment, ecologically speaking, but it also offers us some unique opportunities for flavor enhancement of our cave-aged cheeses and our lamb. Our goal is to bring you the flavor of the northwoods through our raw milk cave-aged sheep cheese and our succulent grass and milk-fed lambs.

We milk the sheep seasonally (April–September) while the grass is green. We only make the raw milk cheeses from the grass-fed milk. Our market lambs are weaned from their mothers at approximately 45 days and are then reared on whey from the cheeseroom, grass, and sometimes a minimal amount of corn if we have late pastures or an early winter (no more than 1/2 pound of corn a day per lamb when or if it is necessary to feed corn).

What We Grow: Raw milk cave-aged sheep cheeses and raw milk cave-aged jersey cow milk cheeses (when milk is available); European style lamb (live weight between 75–90 pounds) June–December; Hot House lambs (live weight 40–55 pounds) April–May; replacement stock for sheep dairies; and livestock guardian dogs.

Where We Sell Our Products: St. Paul (MN) Farmers Market, every Saturday April–December, 7 AM–1 PM. Winter Market sale days are every other weekend, January–March, 9 AM–12 PM, corner of 5th & Wall Streets, St. Paul. We also have on farm sales by appointment only at this time. Web/mail order items include raw milk cave-aged cheese.

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!

Mountain Lane Farms, Wauzeka, WI, is nestled in the hills of Crawford County. It is a place where time stands eternal. Our Angus cattle graze 80 acres of rolling pasture in the same way they did when my father purchased the farm back in 1964. This provides our cattle with a simple diet of sunshine, legumes, grasses and water. While a simple approach, we believe this is best for the animal and ultimately in producing the best beef.

As we are a minute operation, we currently do not possess the means of rendering our product on site and shipping it direct. Our philosophy is that when you buy from Mountain Lane Farms, you choose the animal and witness firsthand where it was raised. You have an opportunity to voice how you would like the beef prepared, etc. If you wish, we can ship the animal to you. We have tremendous rendering professionals who can customize your order. If you wish we can even bring your order right to your door. We value you not only as a customer, but a new friend before, during and after the sale.

As a small operation, we don't have all the amenities of other operations. What we have is a food source that has been raised naturally by good folks who are concerned more about you than your sale. Give us a call, get directions and come see Mountain Lane Farms. The cattle will continue to graze, but friendships are precious. Make friends at Mountain Lane Farms.

Odyssey Farm, LLC produces acorn-finished, premium pastured pork and grass-fed beef on our farm outside Sun Prairie, WI.

Our farming methods focus on what is best for the animals and ecosystem. Our heritage Tamworths and Tamworth-cross pigs graze and root in pesticide- and herbicide-free pastures. Their diet includes transitional organic and organic feeds as well as windfall apples and garden leftovers of squash, melons, and brassicas. We grow almost half of the pigs’ feed on-farm in a minimum-till rotation of crops, pastures, and cover crops. We move our pigs regularly to give them the freshest pastures while previous paddocks recover. However, the pigs' natural home is in the woods. We let our animals forage woodland paddocks in the fall where they eat acorns and hickory nuts like their wild kin. Doing our best by land and livestock rewards the eater with a redder, richly flavored pork.

Our grass-fed Angus/Murray Grey-cross cattle graze our best pastures from May through October and are moved daily to fresh pasture. The animals come from an organic farm’s genetic lines that have a great reputation in the restaurant market.

All our animals are antibiotic free.

Due to consistent high demand, please contact Odyssey Farm to reserve your beef or pork as soon as possible. Our animals are butchered in October and November.

For pork we sell whole and half hogs as well as 25-pound variety boxes and individual cuts.

For grassfed beef, we sell halves, mixed quarters, and 50 or 25-pound boxes.

On-farm sales, visits or farm tours by appointment.

Odyssey Farm is a Dane County Climate Champion and a Veteran-owned business.

At Snyder's Valley View Farm we raise Belted Galloway beef and Katahdin sheep.

All of our animals are raised on natural pasture during the growing season, and on hay that we grow ourselves during the winter months. Our calves and lambs are born on pasture in the spring and are raised on their mother's milk until they are able to graze our pasture grasses, legumes and forbs. We use no herbicides or pesticides on our pastures or hayfields, and practice rotational grazing, which allows the animals to utilize their natural instincts to migrate and look for the best food supply.

Our animals receive no growth hormones, no antibiotics in their feed, and a very minimal amount of grain which is used only for training purposes.

Both Belted Galloway Cattle and Katahdin Sheep are known for their ability to produce lean, tender, flavorful meat when raised in a grass based farming system, producing meats that not only taste very good, but are good for your health as well.

We sell freezer beef by the quarter and half; it is available at various times throughout the year. Lamb is sold by the half or whole from December through April. Our meats are processed by a local state inspected, family run facility, and can be cut and wrapped to your specifications.

Uplands Cheese, Inc. produces and distributes Pleasant Ridge Reserve, a unique, traditional style farmstead cheese.

Pleasant Ridge Reserve is an artisan cheese made from the milk of a single herd of Wisconsin cows fed and managed using natural "old world" practices. Our cows graze lush pastures from early spring through fall and we produce cheese only when the cows are fully on a forage ration of vegetative pasture. Cows are supplemented with a ground grain mixture comprising 25% of their ration while on pasture.

Pleasant Ridge Reserve is the end product of a process that is inextricably linked to the seasons and life cycles of our animals, as well as to the prairie soils and climate of southwest Wisconsin. The sweet flavors of the pasture grasses, herbs, wildflowers and clovers is detectable in each morsel of our product. We hope you will try Pleasant Ridge Reserve and agree with us that producing food slowly, deliberately and with pride is a value worth preserving in our hurried, industrialized society.

Willow Creek Ranch offers farm-direct Angus beef, pork, and eggs.

All our animals have access to the outdoors 365 days per year as well as adequate shelter when mother nature shows her harder side. We use no growth hormones or antibiotics.

Our 100% grassfed beef graze freely on one of our six rotating pastures. Each pasture has its own spring or creek, which offers the animals constant access to fresh water from natural sources. To remain sustainable, we only raise as much livestock as our own land resources can naturally support.

To share the wonderful experience of living on a farm, we also have a cabin that we rent out. See the "Stay overnight on the farm" tab on our website for more information and pictures.
