Meet Our Producers
The small family farm is disappearing at an alarming
rate. For the majority of these farmers, the cost of
bringing their products to market does not provide
adequate profitability. First of all, they cannot
produce enough products to satisfy a chain of urban
grocery stores. On the other hand, their low production
rates cannot generate sufficient dollars if they sell to
the enormous, profit-driven middlemen.
Our small family farmers have all faced these dilemmas.
Good Natured Family Farms was started to give small
family farms a market for their products. By banding
together, we can produce sufficient quantities to meet
the needs of Hen House Markets and Balls’ Price Choppers
in Kansas City and the Mercantile in Lawrence, Kansas.
We
are all proud of the food we raise. We treat our animals
humanely. Because the land is our heritage, we care for
the land and farm in ways that protect our waterways,
prevent soil erosion and reduce pollutants. More than a
vocation, farming is a lifestyle for us.
We
have established USDA verified guidelines for raising
our cattle and chickens in a consistent manner. We
process our meat in our own federally inspected
processing plant. Our milk, cheese and orange juice are
produced following strict protocols from the USDA.
We
maintain the highest standards and proudly add our names
to the list of family farms that make up the Good
Natured Family Farms Alliance. We hope you will take a
moment to meet us online.
