Here at Riemer Family Farm, we're all about the birds and the bees...and the butterflies, too! While our rotational grazing efforts help create critical pollinator habitat, that's not the only thing happening on our farm for the benefit of the pollinators.

We also lease a portion of our farmland to a nearby native seed nursery. They raise native plants on our farm and harvest the seeds to be used in restoration projects across the midwest....helping make more habitat for monarchs and other pollinators beyond just our farm!

Take a look in the video below to learn more with Matt, the man in charge of it all!

Preventing Soil Erosion with Grass-fed Beef

Better food starts with better soil. As President Franklin D. Roosevelt famously said, "The nation that destroys its soil, destroys itself." He couldn't be more right. That's why we choose to manage our pastures in a way that protects, enhances, and builds soil. Because if we lose the soil, we lose our ability to grow food.
