A Note From the Founder

We didn’t start farming because it was trendy — we started because our family needed to survive better.

Years ago in North Carolina, we began raising our own laying hens and pastured meat birds because we could no longer trust the food system to care about health the way a father does. That small beginning — just trying to feed our own children clean, honest food — eventually led us home to Michigan, where we expanded into Wagyu and American Wagyu (Wagyu × Angus), truly pastured chicken, and dabbling in a mix of turkeys, goats, and ducks.

We follow the same regenerative stewardship ethic as Joel Salatin —
but we’re not trying to industrialize or franchise it.

This farm is intentionally small, human-scale, and built on the belief that animals should live the way God created them — and that families should know where their food comes from.

We are not here to build a brand.
We are here to build household resilience for those who still care about health, soul, and sovereignty.

The Sower’s Reserve was born because demand for truly real food has already far surpassed what we can raise —
and we refuse to let this be a bidding war.

We created a gate not for the highest-paying, but for the most philosophically aligned.

If you're here because you believe the future belongs to those who take their stewardship back — starting with their food — then you’re exactly who we built this for.
