Our Farming Beliefs
Lundell Farms is a small family farm in Western Michigan where we believe in raising things the way nature intended! |
At Lundell Farms we raise food that we are proud of! Years ago we started off with a small garden and a few chickens in order to feed our family the best food possible. Over the years we have grown and now enjoy sharing that high quality food with others.
We strive to be environmentally and fiscally sustainable, as self-sufficient as possible, and to raise food that is healthy and safe for our family and yours! All of our produce is raised organically. We start the natural process by being stewards to the land. We continually work to improve our soil with organic matter. On all of our property we refrain from using any synthetic fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides. We spend plenty of hours weeding! We compost the manure from our animals and use that as soil builder and fertilizer. These are the practices that, we believe, give our product a superior quality and flavor. Our animals are also raised in a more natural way. We feed only non GMO feeds that are sourced locally whenever possible. We never give our animals growth hormones. We do not feed antibiotics or any other medications as a standard practice. In the case that we have one of our livestock fall ill, we decide on treatment on a case by case basis. Allowing access to fresh air and pasture tends to keep the animals happy and healthy, as was intended in nature. At Lundell Farms we focus on raising our food the way nature intended. We believe that is what is best for our bodies and this beautiful earth we live on. |

John Lundell Jr
Every farm needs someone that is a John-of-all-trades, and we are very lucky to have John! His skills are immense and keep him busy on the farm. Growing up he spent many hours on his grandparents’ farm in rural, Montague Mi., and did not realize that what he was learning would benefit him in his adult years. John’s main focus at Lundell Farms is acquiring and maintaining the farm equipment and structures. John now also runs Lundell Excavating, helping those in West Michigan with thier small scale excavating needs. "We Dig West Michigan!"
