Farm History:
Riemer Family Farm is a multi-generational natural live stock farm. We are the third generation of the Riemer family to farm this land. We moved to the farm in 2010 after renovating the original 1857 Italianate Victorian farmhouse. Bryce's father Loren grew up on this farm and took ownership of the farm from his father in the 1970's. We lived in various places working, going to school and planting tiny gardens for a decade before we were finally able to move back to the farm, in 2010. We now both work full time on the land and and with the animals. We home-school two of our daughters (ages 13, 11 & 5) and our middle daughter attends a small public school.
Our farm has raised cattle since 1927, and we are pleased to be celebrating Riemer Family Farm's 90th anniversary this year!
Farm Description:
Riemer Family Farm raises quality, sustainabley raised pastured beef, pork, chicken, turkey and eggs on 270 acres of flat land with silty loam soil. We have transitiond to 100% grassed finished beef. We also have a small apiary. Our goal is to provide our customers with healthy and natural products and to educate our customers through farmers markets and farm visits.
All of our animals are raised free from antibiotics, steroids, hormones and animal by-products. Our animals are on grass as much as possible and their diet does not contain any GMO's. We pride ourselves in making sure that are animals are always happy and treated with respect.
It is important to us to use sustainable practices so that this land can be viable for future generations. Some of these practices include no till planting, cover crops and rotational grazing. Customers are always welcome to visit our farm!
