It’s that time of year … summer doesn’t want to let go but the days are getting shorter and the calendar is creeping farther into September. I think we’d all agree that it’s time to put this warm weather behind us and welcome fall … everyone’s FAVORITE time of year! On the farm, fall is our favorite time of year too!
U-pick apples, pumpkins, gourds, mums, apple cider, fall scented candles, hayrides, corn maze, caramel apples, …and sweatshirts! Yup!! Fall is no doubt our favorite time of year. How couldn’t it be?! Part of the reason that we enjoy the fall season so much is that we get to spend it with our weekend customers. Our staff really enjoys the opportunity to help create memories and traditions for both young and old alike.Although our fall season has already started with school tours and u-pick apples, our Fall Harvest Weekends start this weekend. There’s over 30 fun family activities we’ll host here on the farm, along with pumpkin and apple picking, on weekend throughout October. The last 2 Friday and Saturday nights of October we’ll hold our annual Moonlight Corn Maze and Campfires.
And so it begins … Our one price admission lets you stay longer, play harder, spend less, and make more memories together as a family. We’ve got LOTS going on at the farm this fall- we sure hope you’ll join us!

Where’s the beef?? Well … it’s right here, at VonThun Farms! Our very own grass fed, pasture raised, all natural, hormone & antibiotic free, healthy, homegrown Aberdeen Angus beef. VonThun’s homegrown beef is now available a la carte, (view our  current beef availability ) and as a Beef CSA Share.

We hope you’ll put your faith in us and make us at VonThun Farms YOUR farmers this season. Where’s the beef? We hope that our beef will soon find it’s way from our pasture to your plate!

Although red meat has gotten a bad reputation for many years, it’s recently been making a big comeback. High quality beef is superior to many other protein sources, as calorie for calorie, it is one of the most nutrient-rich foods. And did you know that grass-fed beef is much healthier and better for you than store bought beef?! Grass fed beef is much leaner than conventional beef. It’s also higher in key nutrients, including antioxidants, vitamins, and a beneficial fat called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) that’s been tied to improved immunity and anti-inflammation benefits. In addition, grass-fed beef has about 50% more omega-3 fatty acids than standard beef , which adds to its overall nutritional benefits…

• Our beef is high quality Angus. Through our Aberdeen Angus breeding program we strive for consistency & superior carcass traits in our animals which in turn ensures well marbled, tender meat.
• Our beef is grass fed & pasture-raised. We do not confine our steers or finish them with corn.  Our cows & steers spend their lifetime rotationally grazing our lush grass pastures the way they nature intended.  Throughout the winter our cattle receive supplemental homegrown hay as they continue to browse and roam the pastures.
• Our animals are treated humanely in a low stress environment and are genuinely happy animals.
• Our beef is all natural. We do not use antibiotics or hormones for growth in our animals.
• Our animals are raised in a sustainable environment. All the nutrients from the manure are left to be recycled back into the soil, as our cattle fertilize the pastures as they graze.
• Our beef is fresh. Our animals are brought directly from the farm to the butcher, who dry ages the meat. While at the butcher, our beef carcasses are hung to dry-age & achieve the best flavor and tenderness.
