 We recommend these regional farmers and businesses and related webpage links
to our customers. If you're looking for people who care about the food and
products they raise and produce for you, these are the folks you should
consider purchasing from. There is something special and unique about family
sized operations. These families put their hearts and souls into what they
are doing. As their customer, to them, you are not a dollar sign, but a
friend. Supporting them with your purchases is also a vote in support of
your communities, your schools, your churches and your organizations. So we
ask that you consider some of the cool stuff our friends have to offer...

Schaefer's Story...
Chalk Rock Lake Farms is owned and operated by Danny and Mary Schaefer along with their two sons, Matthew, 2 years and Mason, 4
months old. Danny is the 4th generation Schaefer in his family to farm.
Chalk Rock Lake, located in the rolling hills of northern Cedar County in Northeast Nebraska was built on the Antelope Creek in 1984. The
farm and lake are just one mile north of Menominee, NE, a small village consisting of a church and school both built of chalk rock taken from the
bluffs of the nearby Missouri River.
We sell home-finished BEEF that can be custom processed into quarters, halves, three quarters or whole. Let us know how you want it
processed and packaged. Our hormone-free beef (no implants) is 25 cents above meat market price and the conventionally raised beef is market price.
Our beef is corn fed for great flavor. The calves originate from our 60 head cow herd or from the ranches of the Highwood and Bearpaw
Mountains of Montana.
Ask us about our home-raised EAR CORN that we package and sell for squirrel and wildlife feed and PINE CONES for decorative purposes. We also sell STRAW BALES.
