our family
we are the schueler’s. we are a family of five who love both the city and the country. we started our adventure in 2014 and have slowly built our farm to about a hundred head of pigs per year. our kids love being farm kids, whether they are saving farm kittens, spreading straw, helping with chores, riding with to our restaurant deliveries and eating their amazing food or just biking on the gravel.
our farm
our farm has been in our family for three generations. it is a 500 acre farm with half of the land in prairie grass, lakes, and ponds. our goal as a farm is to continue to expand our pastures for our pigs to root up. our pigs are raised outside in the sun, in the mud, and on the grass. they have access to deep bedding and barns at night and during the winter. the majority of our pig’s diet is spent brewers grain from a local brewer. we feed our pigs about 4 tons in a week. we also supplement with local corn and upcycled fruits and vegetables.
our pigs
Our pigs are pasture-raised where they get to root, dig and chew on whatever they find outside. They are given deep bedding in the winter when the pastures are frozen and plenty of grass and mud to lay in when the weather is nice.
our restaurants
we work with odenthal meats (mn state equal to butcher) in new prague to process our pigs. they vacuum seal all of our products which creates a longer shelf life. due to our pigs' brewers grain diet, our meat has a rich marbling and a flavor that our restaurants love and customers come back for. we then bring the pork products to five restaurants in granite falls, marshall, new london, st. joseph and stillwater as well as a grocery store in granite falls.
our store
our store is operated through The Meatery, a company that helps farms offer their products to more customers. it is the culmination of many months of work to have it launched and we are excited to provide the opportunity to order our pork online to our customers and have it shipped straight to your door from our farm.
