Come on out to the farm! :) We welcome visitors throughout the year during our on-farm store hours. We also welcome you to join us for various on-farm social events, including the Soil Sisters Weekend in August!

When you're gearing up for your visit, please review these guidelines to ensure you and your family have everything you need to have a positively wonderful and authentic farm experience!

We love dogs, but we are a working farm, and we keep two guardian dogs to protect our sheep and livestock. They are friendly, but we ask that you please do not bring your family's pets with you to avoid any potential conflicts.
Bring boots! Our farm is in the country and can be quite muddy depending on the weather. Consider bringing a different set of shoes that can afford to get a little muddy to avoid bringing mud into your vehicle.
Bring a cooler to transport your frozen meats and eggs home with you, especially if you have further to travel.
We try to reduce the amount of plastic we use and so we encourage the use of reusable shopping bags. We have some available for purchase in store, as well, in case you forget yours!
Have your camera ready! Travelling to the farm is about more than just picking up meat and saving in the price cut cooler - it's about creating memories, too! The kids LOVE to have their photos taken posing on the ATV, cuddling with kittens, and running through the fields. Birds, bees, lambs, cattle, tractors, and more - bring your lens and capture what captivates you!

**Please visit the tour ticket page for updated information/guidelines.**

Thank you, again, for your cooperation! We appreciate it and look forward to your visit, soon! Thanks! :)

Note:

During this time, due to COVID-19 we are offering SELF GUIDED farm tours. Tickets are $15 for a family/carload. We will continue to update you as new information becomes available. More information available here.

Where to Find Riemer Family Farm Eggs!

Just look for the PINK carton at a grocery store near you! The egg business has been crazy lately to say the least! It seems like every third news story is about the price of eggs and shortages and even thievery of eggs! Who knew there could be so much drama around the humble chicken egg? We partner with a young farm family to produce our seasonally pastured eggs. These hens have a pretty posh life, non-GMO feed, plenty of space, never any cages and are out and about during the growing season. The bird flu outbreak is just another bit of evidence that the industrial food system is very broken! One of the solutions is MORE farmers on the land raising livestock at a family scale and not more concentrated factory agriculture in the U.S. Barns of tens and even hundreds of thousands of chickens are the ones primarily affected by the bird flu for all the obvious reasons! When 150,000 or more birds are together in a barn when one or a few get infected it's a matter of hours before the whole flock is infected and all must be destroyed. Family farms came through for customers during Covid and are proving to be resilient during this current egg problem too! While we are still learning and don't claim to be perfect, we are more sustainable and adaptable than the factory model of farming. Thank you for standing by our farm and other regenerative farms in your area! If you would like to purchase (or dine on) our eggs you can find them at many stores and restaurants! Including: South Central WI: Brodhead Piggly Wiggly Gempeler's Market-Monticello Roy's Market-New Glarus Evansville Piggly Wiggly Oregon Hy-Vee Fitchburg Hy-Vee Cadre restaurant (and others through a distributor) Sunrise Cafe-Monroe N. Illinois: Bull Valley General Store Daily Project Cafe-Algonquin Duck A Diet, Ready to Eat Meals-Huntly Forest Green's Juice Bar-Lake Bluff Just look for the PINK carton. With all the egg shortages from the industrial farms and spiking prices from a fragile industry, our eggs are quite affordable. We will never price gouge. We seek to provide a fair price for both our customers and us. As always you can pick up your eggs on the farm. Please place an order on our website and we will have them ready for you within a day. Make sure that you have Riemer Family Farm as your pickup location.
