About the Farm
Background
For over 100 years, the Shank family has farmed the same land, now managed by Edwin and Dawn Shank and their children and grandchildren, representing the 5th and 6th generations. Nearly 20 years ago, the family transitioned to certified organic practices, driven by a calling to 'dress and keep' the earth according to God's design.
Practices
The farm employs regenerative grazing pastures for beef and dairy cows and grows organic supplemental grains for pastured chickens, pigs, hens, and turkeys. They operate a USDA inspected slaughter facility to ensure the purity and integrity of their food supply. Their mission is to honor God's design by producing nutrient-dense foods while maintaining high standards of humane and conscientious animal treatment.
The Rest
The farm offers raw unhomogenized goat milk available on-site and at various locations. They emphasize the importance of customer choices in supporting their organic whole foods mission and encourage feedback through Google reviews. The Shank family, who are conservative Mennonites, also share insights into their faith and community through a dedicated blog.
