Our Farm
Welcome to our family farm nestled in the heart of East Central Iowa, just a stone’s throw away from the picturesque banks of the Mississippi River and conveniently located near Davenport, right off I-80.
Sustainability Farming Tradition
At our farm, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword – it’s a way of life that has been ingrained in our practices for generations. We’re proud to continue our legacy of sustainable farming, which has not only preserved the land but also allowed us to thrive.
Award Winning Agriculture
Our dedication to sustainable farming has yielded remarkable results. Year after year, we set records with our crop yields and receive accolades for our dairy cows’ milk production. Our commitment to excellence is evident in every aspect of our operation, from field to barn.
Pioneers of Cover Crops
Long before cover crops became trendy, we were leading the charge in their adoption. In the 1980s, we recognized the benefits of cover crops not only as a sustainable farming practice but also as a means to revitalize our soil. By integrating cover crops into our rotation, we witnessed the return of earthworms to our soil, a sign of its health and vitality.
Nutrient-Rich Feed for Happy Cows
Our innovative use of cover crops isn’t just about sustainability – it’s also about providing the best possible nutrition for our cows. These cover crops serve as a natural and nutrient-rich feed source, enriching the soil while producing high-quality forage for our beloved jersey cows. The result? Milk that’s not only delicious but also packed with goodness. Learn more about our cows here.
Award-Winning Cheese Production
From the milk of our contented cows comes the foundation of our award-winning cheese. We’re honored to have received recognition at the Iowa State Fair and beyond for our exceptional cheese products. To learn more about our cheese-making process and explore our award-winning varieties, click here.
Enhanced Soil Health
and Reduced Inputs
The benefits of cover crops extend beyond the nutritional needs of our cows. By incorporating cover crops into our farming practices, we’ve observed significant improvements in soil health. Our soil retains more moisture, gains essential micronutrients, and becomes more resilient overall. As a result, we require fewer inputs to achieve record-breaking crop yields, further reducing our environmental footprint and enhancing the sustainability of our operation.
Community Impact
Our commitment to sustainable farming isn’t just about what happens on our farm – it’s about the positive impact we have on our community and the world. Sustainable farming practices allow us to produce affordable, nutrient-dense food that not only nourishes our local community but also contributes to food security on a global scale. By requiring fewer inputs and minimizing our environmental impact, we’re helping to create a more sustainable future for generations to come.
