It’s time for our second post! Today, we will be featuring Grain Place Foods, Inc, located near Marquette, Nebraska.

It all started in 1953 on the Vetter family farm, when Don Vetter began transitioning to organic farming practices. He was a pioneer, one of the first in the region to pursue organic. In 1978, the farm was certified organic, and one year later, the Vetter family farm became The Grain Place Inc.

Today, Grain Place Foods is still run by the Vetter family and also employs two dozen highly-trained individuals. The company focuses on value-added grain processing and sustainable practices. The company is now working towards achieving Regenerative Organic Certified standards, emphasizing Soil Health, Social Fairness, and Animal Welfare, as they continue to serve as pioneers in sustainable agriculture.

Thank you to Grain Place Foods and the Vetter family for your commitment to organic agriculture and high-quality food! We appreciate your support of OCIA Nebraska!
