Grass-Fed Beef & Wholesome Grain on Henry Creek


Welcome to Janzen Family Farms!

GRASS-FED BEEF

Located right in the heart of the United States, near Newton, Kansas, Janzen Family Farms produces 100% grass-fed beef from animals living on wide-open pastures. Enjoying sunshine and fresh air every day, our grass-fed cattle eat what their bodies are designed to digest: a rich diversified diet of crop stubble, planted forages (for example, triticale and barley), cool season brome grass, forbs and other warm season prairie grasses. The Henry Creek runs through our land, which includes more than 30 acres of virgin prairie.

WHOLESOME GRAINS, FLOUR & BREAD

We also market flour, grain and bread produced by award-winning farmer Norm Oeding, who we are proud to say manages the day-to-day operations of our family farm.

OUR COMMITMENT

We are working hard to produce distinctive, delicious food from healthy, pastured animals and rich soil — the kind of food unavailable in typical stores. Try it! We think its taste and quality will keep you coming back!

We believe that local food is the best food, because customers can personally get to know their producers and judge quality for themselves. Buying local food also invigorates the local economy, and empowers local producers, allowing growers and cattlemen to reap just rewards for the hard work they put into careful animal husbandry and stewardship of the land.

PARALLEL PRODUCTION

Janzen Family Farms is a diversified farm including the new grass-fed cattle operation and pre-existing conventional cattle-feeding facilities. The cattle we feed in our feedlots belong to other cattlemen. The feedlot manure is utilized as fertilizer in our soil-building program, which benefits our crops and grazing system.

Farming Practices: [?]

transitional, grass fed/pastured

Our grass-fed animals hail from an old line Angus, both black and red, that stem from hardy stock adapted to the cold winters of the High Plains. They have been bred to grow and fatten well (“finish”) on a grass-only diet in 21 to 26 months. They successfully birth on their own on the prairie, while their calves gain the benefit of mother’s milk for around six months.
