About Our Farm



Joe's Farm is a first generation small family farm that produces high quality food in a way that is good for our customers, the animal, and the environment through regenerative methods and pastured poultry. Joe's Farm was founded in 2011 by Joe Koopsen at the age of 15. Joe started raising chickens in 2008 at the age of 12 with a few hens in his backyard, selling eggs through Facebook. Joe quickly realized he wanted to provide fresh eggs to more people.

Having not been brought up in a farming family, Joe gained a passion for poultry by joining 4-H and showing chickens when he was 12. His flock eventually outgrew the backyard. In 2011, Joe's parents bought a few acres in the country to allow Joe to expand. Joe grew his flock to support a growing demand and Joe's Farm was founded.

When Joe decided that farming was what he wanted to do for a living, he knew that pastured poultry and regenerative farming were the methods that matched his vision for the farm. In 2015, Joe's family bought the farm on Pulver Road in Three Rivers, MI, where Joe implemented his vision and began growing the farm. Joe, his wife Adele Koopsen, and their sons Rowan and Liam, farm full time.
