Our Story
It All Started with One Simple Goal: Feed Our Family Well.
Over ten years ago, Brandon just wanted to raise the best meat he could for his own family.
But the more he learned about the food system and how industrial agriculture really works - the harm is causes to our environment, the quality of our food, and communities, the more he felt called to do things differently—on his family's land, for his family, and for yours!
Sarah’s path looked different.
She grew up in a “perfect” neighborhood, totally disconnected from where food comes from. But once she started learning about farming and what it really takes to get food to our plates, she couldn’t look away.
Now, together Sarah and Brandon are raising animals with care and respect and sharing that with other families who just want to feel good about the food they’re putting on the table.
"Because at the end of the day, we’re parents too. And we believe real food, raised with care, shouldn’t be so hard to find."
History of the Land: What it's been and Where it's headed
Bowers Farm is located on land Brandon's family has been using for various types of farming for over 75 years. It is our passion to be able to produce the absolute best food we can on this land. We strive to take care of the farm from the soil up - healthy soil grows healthy grass, which grows healthy animals and therefore makes the most healthy meats for our family and yours. We look forward to growing this farm and providing food for those who are interested in knowing where their food comes from and how it was raised.
We raise a variety of livestock on the farm and are always growing in new ways! All of our animals are raised ethically and humanely and enjoy as much time as we can give them out on our green polyculture pastures. We know that as we ensure our animals are healthy we are ensuring that you and your family will be healthy as well!
OUR MISSION
Welcome
Bowers Farm is committed to making all people feel welcomed to the farm! As we expand operations and opportunities for visitors we are intentional about expansion being accessible for people with disabilities. We also strive to create an environment where all, no matter your gender, race, disability, class, sexual orientation, or knowledge of farming, are welcomed here.
Sustainable & Regenerative
We use sustainable and regenerative farming practices in an effort to mimic nature and create the healthiest product we can from the soil up. We believe our call, at the most basic level, is to care for the soil, which creates a healthier salad bar for our animals, which creates a healthier meat for our customers. We are working to leave this land better than we found it.
Education
We are committed to education, both for ourselves, our customers, and our community. We are constantly reading and researching learning from experts in the field of sustainable and regenerative agriculture so that we ourselves can continue to strive to do better. We also value the opportunity to educate others through our social media platforms, farm camp, and tours.
Ethical
As a working livestock farm, our animals are raised for meat. We believe honoring these animals we have been entrusted to care for is of the utmost importance. This includes a wonderful and natural life and a humane death. We are also committed to striving for zero waste, meaning we want as much of an animal back after processing.
