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

Cory Family Farm: Tom & Mary Cory and Family
www.coryfamilyfarm.com
We are a family farming operation located in NE Polk County in central Iowa. Our farm was recognized as a century farm in 2009.
Our family is learning about managed rotational grazing and utilizing holistic practices with our livestock and our land. Our family has successfully marketed frozen, packaged lamb at the Des Moines Farmers’ Market and the Ames Main Street Market. 2014 is our 18th year of marketing quality meat products. We strive to involve our children in all aspects of our farming operation in order to teach them about healthy food production, animal husbandry and entrepreneurship skills. Our family is active in the Practical Farmers of Iowa organization and we are always looking to expand our holistic agricultural knowledge as well as network with other like-minded folks.
Our meat is processed at the Mingo Locker in Jasper County and at the Story City Locker in Story City. We offer beef and lamb by the individual package or by the more economical “bundle”. A “beef bundle” is 35-40# of packaged meat that includes a variety of cuts and will fit in the freezer compartment above a refrigerator. Have you tried our new all natural beef stick? It is high protein, low-carb, the perfect “pack ‘n go” snack. It will provide enduring energy!
Our family would love the opportunity to meet you. You know your doctor, you know your lawyer, get to know us, your FARMER! We host two open houses each year known as the “Farm Cruise”.
Our beef and lamb is all natural, finished exclusively on grass pasture and high quality dried forage, NO antibiotics, NO growth hormones – – – Locally produced and processed!
We also market our products through the Iowa Food Coop, Farm To Folk in Ames, on-farm sales and weekly home delivery.
We take orders for meat chickens usually in Late Winter/Early Spring, since we raise our meat chickens in the Spring/Summer months.

Flavor of the Sun: Jennifer & Byron Olson
Domesticated from jungle birds, we believe chickens are instinctively forgers. They desire to scratch for bugs and search for grains and berries. Our land allows them to feed off existing vegetation. We do not use chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides.
We preserve heritage birds listed by the American Livestock Breed Conservatory and the Ark of Taste. Our chickens are pastured using a rotational grazing method. In the cold winter months, the chickens roam in a large high tunnel to give the best approximation of free ranging in the full sun. Their diet is supplemented with organic layer feed.
Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or special requests. We are very excited to hear from you.
We'll offer egg shares and eggs a la carte.

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.
