We are Ray & Mary Sitorius.  We grew up along the South Channel of the Platte River, south and west of Brady, Nebraska.  We were privileged to be raised on family farms, learning about row crops, hay crops, family gardens, and livestock, which included cattle, hogs, sheep, and chickens. We also learned the values and rewards that came from the hard work it took to achieve the bountiful harvest of the crops and to produce quality animals for human consumption.  This was mostly fun as young kids, but we have grown to realize that many people do not have these luxuries of being able to produce their own vegetables and protein sources, and a good many do not realize where their food actually comes from.  We encourage our children and grandchildren to take part in what we do.  Work shared creates a bountiful harvest, and valued knowledge is being passed down to future generations. We feel it is our calling to share our story with anyone who would like to visit us at the farm, to learn, to see, and maybe take home a little treat from the heart of ourhomestead.

We believe that you are what you eat.  We also believe that everyone deserves the chance to put quality food sources into their bodies the way nature intended.  In order to create this premium meat, we believe happy animals produce healthier meat, and these animals should have the freedom to move about and have joy in their lives.  We believe that this meat should be free of soy, non-GMO grains, hormones, and antibiotics.  We value the opportunity to offer you a high-quality meat, and we want you to know how and why we do it. One of our life goals is to work with younger members of our family and friends and teach them how vegetables are produced, harvested, and processed for storage, and how animals are raised, butchered, and processed for storage. We know where our food comes from and what goes into it. Do you?
