Sustainability & Superior Taste
Our Iowa Farm Family
Like many Iowa farm families, our deepest goal is to build a lasting legacy for our children—one that leaves the land healthier, more fertile, and truly sustainable for generations to come.
We began this journey early by committing to certified organic row crops—growing corn and soybeans without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. This foundational choice prioritizes soil health through natural methods like cover cropping, crop rotation, and building organic matter, which restores the land, prevents erosion, boosts biodiversity, and sequesters carbon right from the start.
While we still raise beef and pork, we've taken the same thoughtful, non-commodity approach by focusing on:
- Premium niche livestock breeds — including Wagyu and Angus beef, plus Berkshire/Duroc pigs — raised regeneratively with rotational grazing, no antibiotics, and a deep respect for animal welfare and soil regeneration.
This early emphasis on certified organic practices in our crops set the tone for everything we do, creating a fully integrated system that produces superior, nutrient-rich food while actively healing the land for the future. Thank you for joining us on this journey toward greater sustainability. Your support helps us achieve our goals and pass on a better farm—and a better planet—to our kids and yours.
Sincerely,
Dallas & Kelly Kuper

Wagyu Beef
Wagyu beef is undoubtedly the highest-quality, most highly-marbled beef on the market, and our Wagyu never disappoints.
Our Wagyu cattle are full-blood and registered, resulting in a consistently exceptional product with every cut.
Our Wagyu beef is:
- raised without antibiotics and added hormones
- pasture-raised until the last 120 days
- finished on non-GMO, organically-raised grain
- part of our sustainable farming cycle, with the manure used to fertilize our organic crops
Berkshire Pork
Heritage Berkshire pork ranks 1st in 19/20 categories for flavor and meat-quality, and we're proud to raise our Berkshire pigs with care on our Iowa farm.
Our Berkshire pork is:
- raised outdoors with room to roam
- raised without antibiotics and added hormones
- fed non-GMO, organically-raised grain
- part of our sustainable farming cycle, with the manure used to fertilize our organic crops
Organic Row Crops
Like most Iowa farmers, we raise corn and soybeans.
What makes us different?
We use organic methods, and part of our farm is certified organic.
This means we:
- do not use synthetic pesticides and herbicides
- fertilize our crops using manure from our cattle and pigs
- plant non-GMO crops
- use cover crops and double cropping (two crops per year) to improve soil health and reduce erosion
