Graise Farm

Humanely raising happy, healthy farm animals and enjoying delicious home cooked, locally raised foods. GRAISE is not just a name.

GRAISE Farm is co-operated by Tiffany Tripp and Andy Olson who are compassionate about raising animals humanely and eating healthy, delicious food grown locally. It’s an acronym that stands for:

Grassfed
Raised humanely
Animals
In a
Sustainable
Environment

Animals at GRAISE Farm have daily access to the outdoors and to fresh sunlight from dawn to dusk. For the best tasting and nutritious food, a

nimals should live a happy, healthy life. That's why Andy & Tiffany spend time with their animals daily and assure that they have room to run, root, play and dig up insects and eat grass(when in season) things that animals do naturally. The farmers of Graise want consumers to enjoy delicious tasting food from a local farm where animals enjoy a happy, healthy life.

Last night’s dinner was egg roll in a bowl. This simple meal was special because of the ingredients. Graise Farm Pork, Sogn Valley Garlic, and the last cabbage and carrots from Spring Wind Farm from last year’s CSA. Recipe from .of.life .

We’re now taking orders for fall pork shares. Details and order form are on our website. Our friends at Spring Wind Farm in Northfield have a few CSA shares left. Sign up on their website. And you can order garlic from Sogn Valley garlic for the fall. Eating local year round takes a little planning, but the flavor is in every meal.

Our ducklings arrived safely after 2 days of travel from in Tennessee. The range coop was completed just in time with Andy making some final touches after the ducklings arrived early Friday morning. To make sure the coop was safe, he added dirt around the edges to fill in holes and set up a small electric fence to keep out predators. Heat lamps were installed to keep them warm at night. During the day the greenhouse-style coop is plenty warm this time of year. These duckling will start laying eggs early next year.

We have 160 ducklings scheduled to arrive this week and what do we do? Start building a new movable range coop to raise them a few days before they arrive. We don’t recommend starting such a large project with such a short time frame, but we didn’t realize how complex this build would be. Luckily it’s all coming together and it’s all because of Andy’s skills. Stay tuned to see the finished 16’ x 24’ coop and lots of little ducklings peeping about.

Two months old and living on their own. We weaned this group from their mama last week and they’re doing great. They explore, roam through grass, rooting dirt, play in mud. They also let the chickens walk in and eat their grub.

Attention Faribault HyVee shoppers!!!

Graise Farm eggs have moved. They’re now located past the meat market on the right side next to hash browns and bacon. They’re located across from the yogurt section and just before the milk case. There, in an enclosed refrigerator, you’ll find both Graise Farm Local Yolks (chicken eggs) and duck eggs.

Andy delivers fresh eggs to Faribault HyVee every Friday when eggs are plentiful. Graise Farm eggs are the freshest and only local eggs on the shelf at Faribault HyVee.

We’re often asked “do the ducks go in at night by themselves?” The answer some do, sometimes. In general, our ducks go into their shed at dark.

After several years of allowing our ducks to free range, and spending hours looking for ducks at dusk around the farmyard,
and often missing some that went broody sitting on a nest of eggs, we finally decided to farm smarter.

In 2020, when we built a new shed, we chose a place where we could fence in the ducks and rotate them on pasture. This keeps the duck safe from predators and helps us bring them in before dark on long summer days when dark doesn’t happen until 9-10pm. We use 3 electric netting fences for about 300 ducks. It’s not electrified allowing us easy access in and out of the fence. Most nights one person can herd all the ducks inside in less than 3 minutes. The exception is on stormy nights when ducks go crazy looking for bugs that surface to the earth in the rain.

Lily is a rockstar mama! This is her second litter. She’s farrowed both on her own and lost zero babies. From day one she talks with them and teaches them what they need to know to go out in the great outdoors. All ten piglets are 3 weeks old and rooting, eating, playing, running outside every day.

More spring babies at Graise Farm! Our new River Rock chicks arrived this week and are settling in. This was day one. These chicks will start laying eggs this fall.
