Sand Creek Farm

Of course another family owned establishment..the best. They provide dairy, meat and vegetables to the members and public so even if you missed the membership deadline (if there is one) you still have an opportunity to buy the local sustainable food they provide! But there are perks to being a member! You can set monthly orders and receive a discounted price on milk AND your first picks before the public get on it. They plow the old fashioned way and gather all generations of their family to pick, hoe, and feed their stock to really emphasize their family owned farm.

Sand Creek offers whole Milk, Skim Milk, Cheese, Yogurt, Butter, Ice Cream, Beef, Pork, Lamb, Chicken, Eggs. They also plan to get honey bees-if they have not already. All of their animals are fed whey and a soy free / non-certified organic / whole grain -legume ration that is custom made just for Sand Creek Farm.
They also offer many different events at their farm from classes to family farm days! In the month of November they have FIVE upcoming events including a farm day Nov. 13th! Farm days include making butter the old fashioned way, a horse drawn hay wagon ride, feeding the Pastured Hens, collecting eggs, AND tastings!
