Beginning in their Home Place in Henry County, Kentucky, they are building a healthy food and farm model that can be replicated in communities throughout the country.

Fischer Farms
Fischer Farms is a well-known Indiana family farm committed to raising premium beef and pork using humane and sustainable farming practices. Their animals are carefully raised and processed to ensure exceptional quality, consistency, and flavor for restaurants and consumers throughout the Midwest.
“Our home farm has been in our family since my great grandfather bought the land from the sheriff after the civil war veteran who previously owned the land did not return. The land is on rolling hills in southern Indiana that is best suited for cattle. We purchased two neighboring farms and now have 750 contiguous acres. Our focus has been on producing top quality fresh, natural meats each and every week. This consistent supply has made us a farm to fork choice for many restaurants.”
