Here, our family has been milking cows for over 70 years and selling raw milk for over 20 years. We are pasture based with our grazing animals, sustainably raising beef, and lamb. Wagyu beef, grass finished beef, and grain/grass finished beef are available!
We also raise Berkshire pork, chickens for eggs and meat, in addition to turkeys. Local honey and milk soap from our cows can also be picked up from the farm or at the Dixon Riverfront Market. Meat is available in bulk as 1/8, 1/4s, 1/2s or piece by piece. Drop off sites for preorders are in Davenport and LeClaire on alternating weeks.
Contact Renee for a price list and to schedule a visit to the farm!
