Joe
CEO at Joe's Farm. I started Joe’s Farm in 2011 at the age of 15. When we first started, we were mainly producing eggs for a few local markets. 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. Jump forward to 2025 and we now work with some of the greatest companies in the industry providing pasture raised chicken and turkey. We also sell direct to our local community in our on site Farm Store. The food of the future is food that is a net positive for the environment, the animals, and the consumers!
