Antibiotic-free, fed non-GMO feed with no-hormones-added beef,lamb & poultry About Us Our family has been farming in the Ankeny area since 1862. Our farm was designated a Century Farm in 2002. Griffieon Family Farm was recognized in 2017 with the Iowa Farm Environmental Leader Award presented by the Governor, IDALS and the DNR. My husband, Craig, farms conventionally. In 1996 our son, Nick, started raising pastured chickens. That project has grown into a family business that markets antibiotic-free, no-hormone-added meats, soaps, lotions and other farm products. Our four kids have all graduated from college with ag degrees, all four are married and live within a half mile of where they grew up. Nick and Phil farm with us. Autumn has the flock of Katahdin sheep and makes soaps & lotions for us to sell. Nick planted his fifth crop of corn and soybeans this spring after five years of working on a farm near Dike as an agronomist. Phil has been farming with us for a 9 years and enjoys working with cattle. Julia has an off-farm job. We sell our products from our farm on the north side of the Ankeny, at the Ankeny Farmers Market and through the Iowa Food Co-op. Browse through our Products for Sale Practices (our standards for raising or making our products) Our Limousin beef calves are born on our farm, raised on five pasture paddocks until they are weaned and then are fed in a pen near our silos for about 9 months. They are fed non-GMO corn silage mixed with cracked corn, soybean meal and minerals. We grind and mix our own feed on the farm and the grain is non-GMO. Our Katahdin lamb is 100% grass fed. Chickens and turkeys are raised on pasture and fed non-GMO feed that we grind ourselves from grain we grow. Our pigs are fed non-GMO grain, are antibiotic-free. Additional Information Our daughter, Autumn, makes a variety of soaps from the animal fat. She also makes lotions. Aunt Lorraine loves to sew and stitch, so replenish those kitchen towels you got for your bridal shower or those pot holders that Grandma gave you that have worn thin with some new ones! Thank you for your support as the pandemic slogs on. Iowa meat lockers are booking into 2022 and your patience waiting for product has been appreciated. Highlights this Month Spring is here, the corn and soybeans are planted. We have gotten our baby chicks and pigs for 2021. Baby calves continue to arrive. A new granddaughter was added to the family on May 1, making a total of four. We are low on lamb, chicken and pork but have most beef cuts. We will be processing lamb and chickens again in June. It will be fall before we have pork processed. |
