Directions
From Decorah: US-52 north 4 miles, left (west) on Pole Line Road for 3.4 miles, right on Red Gate Road. We're the first farm on the left, about half a mile in. Red steel gate, white freezer shed, grey barn. Gravel the last mile; any car is fine. From Rochester it's about 1 hr 40 via US-52; from La Crosse about 1 hr 15 via MN-16 and IA-9.
Visiting
Any Saturday morning during store hours someone can walk you out to the herd. Pasture walks with the whole family and a grill going: first Saturdays of May, July and September at 10 am. No need to book. Boots, not sandals.
Restaurants & co-ops
We supply two restaurants in Decorah and one in Lanesboro with ground, brisket and short ribs on a standing monthly order, and the Decorah Co-op with eggs. We have room for one or two more. Email with volumes and we'll send a wholesale sheet.
Groups & schools
NICC ag classes, 4-H clubs and the Decorah homeschool co-op come out most years. Free, about 90 minutes, weekdays in May or September. Email Ingrid through the form with a date and head count.
