Your source for delicious grass-fed beef and goat, classes and overnight stays.
Nestled in the rolling hills of south central Iowa, our farm is a haven for those seeking more than just a place to visit — it’s a place to reconnect.
Here, we raise grass-finished beef and goats with care and respect, using practices that nourish the land and produce clean, wholesome food you can feel good about serving your family.
But we’re more than just a working farm. We’re a destination for curious souls and kindred spirits — those who’ve earned the time and space to slow down, savor life, and share meaningful experiences with those they love.
John Hogeland grew up on the farm in Iowa and left to be trained as a chef and butcher in San Francisco. Now he is a fifth-generation farmer and manages the land, cattle and goats. He also teaches butchery, cooking and team building classes. Reach him at johnbutcherman@gmail.com
