Green Warrior Farms

Green Warrior Farms is looking to establish itself as a corporation that provides opportunity. Their objective is, "to provide injured veterans with an opportunity to own their own fodder production business, which will help make America more self sufficient and less dependent on foreign food." Production Manager Matt Van Vlack explains, "the original purpose of establishing our fodder operation was to produce health benefits for local livestock." However, Green Warrior Farms did not stop there. Van Vlack elaborates, "essentially what we are offering is an opportunity for our veterans to grow feed on contract for local farmers, which will help to reduce the overall carbon footprint of feed distribution."

White River Lamb Company

When Joe and Ellen Nieslanik decided to relocate from northwestern Colorado in August of 2012, they purchased a 155-acre farm in Scio, Oregon and started White River Lamb Company. As they discovered the carrying capacity of their newly-purchased land, they realized they were overstocked and needed to purchase alfalfa hay when winter arrived. At $300 per ton for quality hay for their herd, the Nieslaniks soon realized they would have to come up with a solution to this costly problem. "We knew we had to find an alternative," Ellen says, "so we began investigating the fodder system."

Lensmire Family Farm

Lensmire Family Farm, owned and operated by Tom and Jane Lensmire, is home to about 80 Holstein, Jersey and Swiss dairy cows. Located in Cleveland, WI, the farm has been in the family for 23 years and spans 80 acres of land. The Lensmires began rotational grazing about 13 years ago and still use this practice today, in addition to purchased feed. However, an interest in hydroponics led them to FarmTek's FodderPro 2.0 Feed Systems after reading about hydroponic fodder in the company's catalog.

Damasa Organics Farm

Edd Goerger, the owner and operator of Damasa Organics Farm, believes we should really consider where our food is coming from before we eat it. This is the reason he raises his cattle, chickens and pigs on pasture. He then markets his chicken, eggs, pork and beef to customers within a fifty-mile radius. Raising livestock on pasture can be hit or miss, especially when droughts like the one we have been experiencing occur.

Two Branch Ranch

Mark and Sue Schalk started Two Branch Ranch when they were looking to return to the farm life. Sue explains, "We started small with three alpacas, one English Angora rabbit and a handful of chickens." Today, the farm is home to quite a few more animals. "We've focused mainly on the alpacas and over the past few years have grown to a herd of twenty-one animals with five pregnant females due this spring." Sue spends her time on the farm hand-spinning, weaving and processing the alpaca fiber to create finished goods which the couple sells at their local farmers' market, fiber fairs and online.
