ABOUT US

Meet Roper Farms

In the mid 1960s, Jack and Cookie Roper bought a beautiful farm in God's Country near Holyoke, MN. Their dream was to make agriculture their life's work.​ Though they had to work other jobs to make ends meet, they were able to pass on a love of farming to their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. With a focus on traditional ways, our desire is to provide your family with organically minded practices in all our products, make it affordable for any type of budget, and be the best stewards of our animals and land.  All of our animals seem happy. They frolic and play with their pals in luxury living their best lives...until they die.

FAQs
Are your animals happy?

It's hard to ask them each day BUT once a week they stop prancing about the pastures for a quick tea time chat.  From what we can tell by these encounters, they seem quite happy.

If chickens get pasture, why would they STILL require a grain feed?!

While the meat chickens do enjoy a healthy amount of pasture goodness, they are a hybrid bird designed to grow in 7 weeks. With this quick growth rate, they need a HUGE amount of protein so they grow up healthy and in a state of non-stress. If they don't have enough food, they will get stressed out, panic, and possibly die from malnutrition. For us to care best for them, it is our job to provide a constant source of food for our feathered friends.

For our eggs laying ladies, a similar truth is true. To keep them living their best life in a healthy fashion, they need high protein amounts to make you those beautiful eggs each day.

What kind of grain do you use?

We use a locally sourced mix from MN farmers made at our home town feed store-Widdes. Widdes has been in the AG supply business for a long time with good local folks who are farmers themselves.

WHY do I have to wait for stuff sometimes?!?!

Good things come to those who wait...right?! The reason we don't have a crazy huge stock  in a certain kind of product is because we're growing up each animal with love and care on a family farm. We are so grateful for your patience as we continue to grow to meet the needs of our community!
