Grass Fed Beef

Robyn and Lance along with their daughter Stephanie Kirkham love sharing their farm with the community. At Brakstad Family Farm this takes the form of supplying fresh, nutrient-dense produce and grass fed beef that nourishes their customers. This nourishment reaches people through CSA subscriptions, on site farm store visitors or through the food shelves, grocery stores and farmers markets that carry their products.

Discover how one Avon, Minnesota farmer is transforming soil, cattle, and lives through nutrient-dense, allergen-friendly, pasture-raised meats. Meat is available at farmers markets, area drop sites, and for on-farm pick up.

Jessica and Tony Heiden, along with Tony’s parents, lead the current generations working side by side to raise their herd on healthy pastureland without the use of implanted hormones. Their cattle are finished on hay and corn grown on the farm. 

Pettit Pastures, its people, animals, and plants, demonstrate everyday that agriculture and nature can coexist. Through the practice of regenerative agriculture, the Pettit Family restores a healthy balance to their land while raising premium beef and pork for their community.  

“My biggest surprise in running Blackberry Ridge Farms is how much failure is involved in farming. Nearly every day we say, ‘Okay, that didn't work, what will we do next?,’” shares Erin Gervais. “We are constantly pivoting and innovating. It's so humbling and at the same time incredibly rewarding because many times we do succeed, and success is far sweeter after some failure.”
