Egg & Meat Producers
Audubon County Farm: Cindy Madsen
We grow a variety of crops, most are organic, in the rolling hills southwest of Audubon, Iowa. The corn, oats, other small grains, hay and pasture we raise are fed to the livestock on our farm.
Our animals are raised the environmentally friendly way in straw, cornstalks, or woodchip bedded farm buildings and hoop barns. We feed a vegetarian diet of organic corn, soybean meal, vitamins and minerals, and a little organic oats or other small grains. No antibiotics, drugs, hormones or animal by-products are used in the feed.
We offer our products “a la carte” and will be coming to the distribution site, usually the second Tuesday of the month, to deliver chickens, pork, honey and candles. Please order directly to vcmadsen@iowatelecom.net

Mary's Farm & Garden: Mary Hillman
Mary's Farm & Garden has developed from a life-long love of farming and a healthy ifestyle. What began as a means to feed a family of four daughters in a healthy manner has expanded to sharing the "quality of life" with others through providing all natural fresh eggs, poultry, produce and quality canned goods. Mary's Farm is located in Junction Township-Green County just 30 minutes from Ames--second home to this ISU Alum.
Laying Hens and Ducks--I use feed products without growth hormones--all vegetable diet. I am working towards organic feed-non GMO products. Hens and ducks run free daily over the six acre farm returning to the barn at night for safety. Hens enjoy NPR classical music while laying in their wooden straw nests.
Meat Broilers-- Broilers spend the first three weeks indoors for their safety and then are moved outside to pasture in chicken tractors. Broilers are butchered at seven weeks making the meat very tender and delivered fresh to customers same day--not frozen. Broilers are butchered at a state inspected facility and are "air chilled" which aids in contamination issue concerns and adds no weight to customers as in water chilling.
I have farmed the same land for 30 years. Fertilizer is from my livestock, rabbit and poultry. Livestock are fed medication free feed as close to organic as possible. I use no pesticides or herbicides. Weed control is by hand tilling and natural ground cover of the garden crops. I will provide eggs from my free ranging hens, vegetables, poultry and rabbit as a la carte.

Remnant Hills Farm: Tom Wilson and Taylor Williams
www.facebook.com/remnanthillsfarm
Remnant Hills Farm is a small diversified livestock, vegetable and flower farm. We believe that our animals should live as they were meant to be, and that the health of the soil is the key to delicious vegetables and beautiful flowers. We raise sheep, goats, chickens and heritage breed pigs. Our animals live their life outside and are rotationally grazed through our pastures and timber. The chickens and pigs are supplemented with a custom Non-GMO feed, plus fruit and vegetable scraps. We do not spray chemicals on our fields or on the vegetables and flowers or use growth hormones and routine antibiotics on our animals. We use organic fertilizers and a deep bed growing system to promote the health of the soil. These practices are the buildings blocks for the quality of our products.
