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 and all four live within a half mile of where they grew up. Nick and Phil farm with us. Autumn is married and has a six year old daughter. Autumn has the flock of Katahdin sheep and makes soaps & lotions for us to sell. Nick harvested his fourth crop of corn and soybeans 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 city limits, 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! Highlights this Month We have processed the last of 2020’s pork and lamb and will wait until next fall for more pork and summer for 2021 lamb. I am out of many chicken parts, but still have plenty of whole an cut-up chickens. If you read on, you learn how hard it is to bring you farm-fresh poultry. If you can't find something you want on the IFC listings, call me and it is possible we have some left that was butchered on the farm. If the past 13 months have proven anything it is that Iowa's food system is broken. Local lockers are swamped with folks trying to procure healthy Iowa grown meats. I was lucky to have secured a locker date every month until the end of 2021 shortly before meat sales were limited in grocery stores in March of 2020. We will have beef monthly. Poultry processing in central Iowa needs a complete overhaul--there is only one facility in the state (an official state-inspected plant) with the necessary Iowa stamp on the label, and it is a 2 hour drive from our farm. Lawmakers need to address their strict policies on local processors and the lack of actual facilities to fulfill those requirements they place on the producers and the lockers. Bring this up with your Iowa legislator. The rules/laws need to be changed so you can enjoy locally produced poultry so you know about the diet, the processing and the farm it came from. |

Packaged in an 8 oz. pump-top bottle. My favorite way to use this lotion is to remove the pump/lid, warn it in the microwave for 7 seconds, shake it up and apply it warm.

This is reuse of a heeling or heading rope that has been used on real horses and cattle by real cowboys! The rope has been cleaned and made into an approximately 12" tall decorative basket. They come in shades of royal blue, light blue/aqua, green and tan. They are a conversation piece and make a great start for a gift basket for a special friend. We will try to keep one on display at the IFC.
