We believe all of life is part of a web. What we do to one part, we do to all.
Lubbers Family Farm is a family owned farm in West Michigan that has been farmed sustainably since 1995. For us, it started in 1993 when our youngest daughter, then six-years-old, was diagnosed with brain cancer.
We began extensive research into the origins of cancer, which led us, inevitably, to our food supply, along with other things over which we had no control. We became increasingly alarmed by what was in our food in the form of pesticides, herbicides, dyes, preservatives— it is a very long list. Then we became equally alarmed by what we found was not in our food nutritionally.
In the early nineties unadulterated, nutrient dense food was extremely hard to find. We began to raise our own. As family and friends began to taste our food, they asked for some for themselves. We found ourselves seriously farming.
Our daughter is now an adult who, while having sustained brain damage and hearing loss from the treatment, is very healthy.
We are committed to the importance of whole foods raised on sustainable local farms as a pathway to abundant health, a sustainable environment and excellent flavor.
Lubbers Family Farm raises meats and operates a cow share program. We offer beef, pork, lamb, turkey, chicken and eggs. We also house a bakery, the Little Rooster Bread Company, owned by our son. More information about the bakery can be found at www.littlerooster.net
Our meats are offered for sale through an annual newsletter that includes pricing and an order form. You can download the newsletter or e-mail us with your contact information. We’ll add you to our mailing list.
