Pleasantland Organic Farm

Pleasantland Organic Farm We are a family-owned farm committed to providing quality, USDA-certified organic produce. Pleasantland Organic Farm was born.

Pleasantland Organic Farm was once a small dairy-farm called Pleasantland Registered Holsteins. In February 2014, a fire claimed the dairy milking barn, leaving owners Aaron & Courtney Vercler with a weighty decision: rebuild and keep milking cows or change gears. The couple had already been researching transitioning their field crops to organic. The loss of the dairy left 12 acres of pasture unus

ed, as well as free of GMOs, pesticides, and other prohibited substances. This left a unique opportunity to certify those acres as organic in their first year of production. The Verclers always enjoyed gardening and decided to grow organic vegetables for others as well. The operation has recently grown to include organic pastured poultry and eggs as well. In addition to their crops and livestock, Aaron & Courtney are raising four beautiful children. Their favorite part of organic farming is watching their children eat wholesome, nutritious, and flavorful organic foods straight from the plant.

We have corn again! This planting is a different variety and a little young. Get it while it lasts!

We were proud to support the District 52 Panther Social last night! This was our first ad for our farm. These days we are concentrating our energy on our grain farming operation. We do a little bit of everything! Conventional, non-GMO, identity preserved (like seed beans and seed corn), and of course organic!

If you need a farmer, we'd love to share how we can care for your ground the way you want it to be farmed and make it as productive as possible. Give us a call!

We are sad to report that we will no longer be selling eggs. Our hens production has slowed way down. Our time has been stretched with other farm and family commitments, so rather than get new hens, we are stepping away from the egg business. Thank you so much for your patronage and loyalty over the past year! We value your support. Keep tabs on our page for future endeavors!
