We’re building numerous ponds on our 80-acre farm to enhance the environment, enrich and diversify the wildlife, and grow crops with superior vitality. Our philosophy is that life is precious and valuable, and it’s our job as stewards of the land to create as much vibrant life as we possibly can. When you partake of food, you are partaking of everything that’s behind it, all the intentions, all the thoughts, all the ideas, all the belief systems. So, it makes a difference for the person eating the food if there was a wholesome intention and method behind creating it. It’s about wanting the best for everyone, every creature, and for the land we’re given to steward for our time here on earth.

Stripes, our orange tom, absolutely loves to travel on the ATV wherever it goes. When work is being done in the field, he’ll sit on the ATV for hours, sleeping on the seat in the sun or safely ensconced in the back protected from Harriett who likes to tease him or even grabbing an unsuspecting gopher for lunch. What a cool and crazy cat!

You would think that farmers get a good workout pitching hay and wrestling sheep, but the Harvest Haven guys found out differently. When Dan challenged them with his CrossFit exercises, they discovered they had muscles that weren’t being used and as a result, could hardly walk after the first couple of workouts. The next project for Harvest Haven was a FarmFit Facility where our farmers get a well-rounded exercise regimen. Dan takes us on a brief tour.

Konstantijn is a very creative young entrepreneur. She enjoys making a variety of kreations - beautiful bouquets with flowers from her garden, colorful hair clips from her collection of feathers, and bead necklaces in a lovely assortment of colors and styles. In this video Konstantijn shows us what she uses to make her necklaces and explains her process. You’ll find Konstantijn’s attractive creations at the Harvest Haven store and even discuss her work with her.

Mathijs enjoys spending hours working in the shop or on his LEGO, especially anything that has gears. He loves gears! In this video he shows us how to build a simple LEGO car using battery power with a remote control to steer it. It just took him a few minutes to put it together because he knew the kinds of wheels and axels that were needed, how strong the frame had to be to hold the battery, and the best surface to run his vehicle on.

Turkeys are wonderfully sociable and curious creatures. They are animated, vocal, friendly, and will not fail to peck at your shoelaces or the rivets on your back pocket. The confinement turkey farms have absolutely no respect for the personality and expression of turkeys. Their only goal is to create as many pounds of flesh as possible for the smallest dollar. Our goal is maximum health and maximum happiness for animal, farmer, and consumer. Turkeys love to range, forage, and roost. Therefore, we created a mobile roosting barn that can be moved to fresh pastures daily. It’s surrounded by a netted fence to keep the turkeys in and predators out. People can’t be healthier than the soil their food is growing in. But we extend the adage. Ultimately, a person’s quality of life will never exceed the quality of living they afford to the animals they eat. Think about it.

We raise the chicks in the barn for about 3 weeks until they’ve grown enough feathers to survive cooler nights. At this point they’re ready for pasture. The birds are split up into 10-foot by 10-foot cages starting at one end of a pasture that’s been recently grazed by sheep. The shorter, trampled grass provides more suitable bedding and renders the bugs easier to catch. And the tender pasture regrowth is much easier for the birds to digest than mature grasses. Every morning when the dew comes off, we move each cage ahead by a full ten feet, providing the birds with a fresh salad and a side of bugs, which they take full advantage of before resorting to their grain feeders. It should go without saying that we provide exclusively organic grain and clean Grander Living Water. This system also moves the birds away from their manure which means they are never exposed to any pathogen load. It keeps everything and everybody healthy and clean. Our birds have full access to sunshine and fresh pasture breezes that are 100% free of ammonia. Our healthy pasture grasses make immediate use of the nitrogen in the manure to prevent any odors or runoff. The whole system is beautiful and clean, naturally providing meat that is clean and nutritious.

Enjoy this virtual tour, then come check it out. It’s a big deal! P.S. Pizza not included…yet.

In this video, Martin explains where salmonella originates and why free-range poultry produces risk-free eggs and meat. He also discusses why grass-fed meats are safe. It’s the grain-fed livestock in feedlots (CAFOs – Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations) that’s the problem. No amount of government intervention will help if it doesn’t address the issue of how the animals are raised.

In this short instructive video, Martin Van Popta explains how to use Grander Living Water Energy Boards and Penergizers. These are the most popular Grander products because they easily demonstrate the effectiveness of this technology without having installation costs.

We all know chemical pesticides and herbicides are dangerous for our health and the environment. But, how much consideration is given to fertilizers, either artificial or natural? In this video, Martin briefly describes the effects of fertilizers on the soil and the plants grown in it. He explains the importance of maintaining healthy soil microbiology and growing food “the old-fashioned way.” https://www.harvesthaven.com/pages/harvest-haven-food

There’s more to “grass-fed” than free-range animals eating grass on a large pasture. Martin Van Popta, manager at Harvest Haven, explains the importance of moving cattle daily to small pastures with a rich variety of grasses and a constant source of fresh water. This system of small grazing blocks on a daily rotation works perfectly for the pasture, the cattle, and the farmer, and it provides excellent grass-fed beef for your eating pleasure.

Harvest Haven laying hens, broilers, and turkeys are truly pasture raised and free range. Our birds are in the pasture during the growing season where they get to scratch, hunt for bugs, and eat all the greens they want. If there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that healthy birds need lots of sunlight and salad. And if a chicken or a turkey doesn’t have the ability and freedom to express every part of its scratchy, diggy little personality, something’s wrong with how they’re being raised.

Our new mobile chicken coop is ready to go out to pasture!

In this video you can see how much their wool has grown in just one year. The ewes look like willing participants in the whole procedure. After shearing sheep for many years, Dave Carlson has it down to an art. It’s amazing to watch him zip through the thick wool leaving a nice smooth finish.
