Our Story

THE OWNERS

"I wanted to raise the best meat possible for my family." That's how it all began over ten years ago for Brandon Bowers.

As he began to learn more about our food system and the impact industrial agriculture has on our environment, Brandon Bowers felt a call to raise meat on his family land.

Sarah's love of farming and their work took a different path.

Are you someone who lives in a neighborhood incredibly far removed from your food and what it takes for it to make it to your plate? So had Sarah.

"I always like to say my neighborhood might as well have had white picket fences it was so perfect," Sarah reflects.

But as she began to learn more about agriculture and what it takes for food to make it to our plate, she found a passion for sharing this life, especially with children so that all can know the story of the food on their plate.

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.
