Champion Valley Farm

Today was one of those long, messy, rewarding days that makes all the work of growing a garden worth it. 🥕❤️

I pulled all of our carrots today and got them processed—8 quarts of carrots and 17 quarts of beef stew tucked away for later.

And the best part? Almost everything in that beef stew came from right here at home. 🥩🥔🥕🫛

The beef we raised. The potatoes we grew. The carrots came from our garden. And even though my green beans are running very late this year, I picked enough to add some to the stew.

There’s just something special about looking at a shelf full of jars and knowing exactly where the food inside them came from. It’s a lot of work, but I wouldn’t trade it. ❤️

A little piece of our farm, saved for a winter day. 🌱🏡

Beyond Grateful ❤️

We are honestly honored beyond belief.

As a small family farm, we never set out looking for recognition. We simply wanted to build something that reflects what we believe in — caring for the land, raising good food, loving our animals, and teaching our kids the value of hard work.

So to have someone see what we are building at Champion Valley Farm and think our little operation was worth telling the story of… that means more than we can put into words. ❤️

We are incredibly grateful to the Midwest Messenger for sharing our story and to everyone who has supported us along the way — whether you’ve bought our beef, shared a post, told a friend, or simply cheered us on.

We may be a small farm, but we have some pretty big dreams. 🌱🐂❤️

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

🥩 T-BONES ARE GOING, GOING… ALMOST GONE! 🥩

Well, we had a customer come by tonight and take almost every T-bone we had left! 🙌🏼🔥

And honestly… we LOVE seeing our beef head out the door and onto your dinner tables. ❤️ There’s just something pretty special about knowing the beef we raised right here at Champion Valley Farm is going to be part of your family’s meals and celebrations.

Tonight’s customer had an extra special reason to stock up—it’s his birthday! 🎉🥩 What better way to celebrate than with a couple of our delicious T-bones?!

Happy Birthday, and THANK YOU so much for choosing Champion Valley Farm to be part of your celebration! We hope those steaks are absolutely incredible! ❤️

We are now almost completely sold out of T-bones, but don’t worry… we still have some beautiful bone-in ribeyes waiting for their turn on the grill! 🔥

If you’ve been thinking about trying our beef, this might be your sign. 😉

Some evenings, you just have to stop and take it all in. 🌅

This was my view on my walk tonight, and honestly… breathtaking.

There’s something about wide-open skies, tall grass, the quiet of the country, and a sunset that reminds me how incredibly blessed I am to call this place home.

Life can be busy and messy, but then you look up and realize—there is so much beauty right here. ❤️

Grateful for this life. Grateful for this land. Grateful for the simple moments that stop you in your tracks. 🌾

A little more from a pretty special day on our farm. ❤️🌱

If you saw our announcement today, you know we just found out that Champion Valley Farm has been selected to receive a $10,000 National Farm Viability Grant through American Farmland Trust!

These photos were taken as part of the grant acceptance process, and I’m so thankful we have them. They capture something that is hard to put into words—the people, animals, and place behind this farm.

To have someone look at what we’re doing and say, “We see you. We see the work you’re putting in. And we believe this farm is worth investing in.” — that means a lot. ❤️

We are incredibly grateful to American Farmland Trust for believing in family farms and investing in the future of ours.

And we’re pretty grateful to have these photos to remember this season of our family and our farm. 🤎🌱🐂

We just found out some pretty incredible news… ❤️🌱

Champion Valley Farm has been selected to receive a $10,000 National Farm Viability Grant through American Farmland Trust.

Honestly, we’re still taking it in.

We’ve poured so much of our time, energy, sweat, and heart into this farm. We’re constantly looking for ways to do things better—for our animals, our land, and for the future of this little family farm we are building together.

What makes this opportunity especially meaningful is that this grant recognizes the work we’re already doing here. Others have taken notice of our practices, and now American Farmland Trust is choosing to invest in our future.

The grant funds will allow us to install automatic waterers throughout our paddocks, including adding another waterer and piping to a new paddock. It may seem like a simple improvement, but it’s something that simply wouldn’t have been possible for us to do on our own right now.

And that makes this feel about so much more than $10,000.

It feels like someone looked at what we’re doing here and said, “We see you. We see the work you’re putting in. And we believe this farm is worth investing in.”

That means a lot to our family. ❤️

This farm is more than a business to us. It’s our family, our livelihood, our animals, our land, and a whole lot of hard work. We’re proud of what we’re building here, and we’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to keep making it better.

These photos and video were also part of the grant acceptance process, and we’re so thankful to have these memories of our family together, doing what we love.

Thank you, American Farmland Trust, for believing in family farms and investing in the future of ours.

Here’s to continuing to learn, improve, and leave this place better than we found it. 🌱🐄🤎

What does “grass-finished” actually mean?

It means the animal's diet isn't just grass for part of its life.

At Champion Valley Farm, our beef is grass-fed AND grass-finished.

Our cattle spend their lives grazing pasture and are not grain-finished.

That matters to us because we believe cattle should be raised in a way that fits the animal.

And when you buy our beef, you don't have to wonder what happened between birth and your freezer.

You can ask us.

We're the people raising it. 🌿🐄

That's the beauty of buying directly from the farmer.
