Activist. Author. Ninja. You probably know me from NBC's hit show, American Ninja Warrior. I love athletics and hard work, but most of all, I love my family! I enjoy creating videos, content, and even writing books! Work on the ranch has made me into the man I am today. It’s hard work, but it's rewarding. And, best of all, it doesn’t take that much of an imagination to find places or objects to train on. Family is everything to me! I love being a husband and father and being able to share experiences with my kids while teaching them about life and the ranch. My amazing wife, Heather, has been his biggest inspiration. It was a hard decision, but in Season 9 of American Ninja Warrior, we Pekus family decided to disclose to the world her struggles with MS. Heather is the best mother and wife and the hardest working counselor at the Salmon High School despite her medical struggles. https://grassfedcooperative.com/foster daily 0.75 2023-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f3df762ca5b901ed52d6be/037634a6-4770-49f0-9be3-06011a436cba/337302781_1367870703992980_7379167897442406509_n.png Foster Farms (pop-up) - Foster Farms Maecenas faucibus mollis interdum.

For many years, we were successful dairy farmers and Holstein breeders so it was a natural transition for us to use our years of experience to raise natural grass-fed, grass-finished beef for your table. We have been raising grass-fed beef in Vermont since 1989 with the utmost care and respect. Ben and his wife Kelly, the second generation on the operation, are continuing the operation with a focus on regeneratively grazed and raised beef with a mindset of being stewards of the land for future generations. https://grassfedcooperative.com/wautoma daily 0.75 2023-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f3df762ca5b901ed52d6be/5a03388c-7b7a-4067-ae29-2570fda30af6/Wisconsin+Grass-fed+Beef.jpg Wautoma Family of Farms Co-op (pop-up) - Wautoma Family of Farms Co-op Maecenas faucibus mollis interdum.

The ranch has a long history of raising high-quality beef and has passed down their knowledge and love for ranching from one generation to the next. The family's ranching journey began in 1972 when Brad Hoggan started his own cattle operation. Brad was a dedicated and hardworking rancher who built his business from the ground up. He was passionate about his work and committed to producing the best possible beef for his customers. Brad passed down his knowledge and passion for ranching to his son, Jared, who joined the family business and began learning the trade. Jared is working to continue the family tradition of raising high-quality grass-fed Angus beef. Like his father and grandfather before him, Jared is passionate about raising grass-fed Angus beef and is dedicated to providing customers with the best possible product. The Hoggan family's cattle ranch is truly a family affair, with each generation passing down their knowledge and expertise to the next. They are committed to raising their cattle in a sustainable and ethical manner and take pride in providing customers with beef that is both delicious and nutritious. https://grassfedcooperative.com/modern daily 0.75 2023-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f3df762ca5b901ed52d6be/2531a9f3-f155-48ff-ac30-6b9c1eb0530d/Family+Photo.jpg Modern Frontier Farms (pop-up) - Modern Frontier Farms As advocates of Regenerative Agriculture, it is our belief that farming practices should not only sustainably produce food, but also restore and revitalize the land for future generations. One of our core values is supporting local, small-scale farmers who practice Regenerative Agriculture methods. We are strong believers in the benefits of grass-fed, pasture-raised meats for both human health and environmental sustainability. We actively seek out farmers in our area who raise their animals on natural, nutrient-rich grasses, allowing them to roam and graze freely in their natural habitat. https://grassfedcooperative.com/gold-1 daily 0.75 2023-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f3df762ca5b901ed52d6be/1676926882481-TVTLODP09Z7USO59X0YL/IMG_3772.jpg Blue Creek Farm (pop-up) - Blue Creek Farm My father was a child of the 1950s, so I grew up on classic Western movies. Later, my dad would realize his cowboy dream and start a cattle ranch outside our hometown of Saint Peter, Indiana. After college, I moved to Colorado and became a cowgirl/mule packer. I worked on horse and outfitting operations and guided mule trips into the backwoods of Routt and White River National Forests. After a few years, I left that wandering life and returned to my roots to run the family cattle operation. After two years of drought, we noticed many negative changes in our pastures and the cattle brought to us by a lack of grazing management. We had erosion, noxious weeds, and a decline in cattle health because of these changes in the land (an extensive and different subject). So after much research and deliberation, Mom and I decided to take the herd into a Management-intensive Grazing platform for land and cattle management. What's healthy for the land is healthy for the cattle. So I became a Regenerative Rancher before the term became popular. We began selling Grassfed Beef after a couple of years. Later, a friend introduced me to a cowboy from North Dakota, Chip McGregor. Chip and I have melded our lives and dreams of cattle ranching and Grassfed Beef production this past year into one and started Blue Creek Farm Grassfed Beef. We are big thinkers. Our vision is to provide a healthy life to our cows and to land that owns or rents us while producing beef that is good for the people and the land that we love. We are building a community around healthy land and animal management practices, building soil, and saving the world one burger at a time. After that, we would start our Grassfed Beef Operation. We now have pastures all over Southeastern Indiana and sell Grassfed Beef direct to consumers. Our biggest struggle is time. Agriculture alone is a sun-up to sundown-everyday life. But throw direct-to-consumer sales, marketing, and other jobs and responsibilities into that, and it's a 365-day/year gig. It's a beautiful life, but there is burnout. I find the best way to get through the long days and stresses of ranching is to spend time with Wade, my 9-year-old son, and the cows out in the pasture and not rush through my work. A soil biologist told me a few years ago, "You will know you are doing what's right for the land when the ladybugs show up. Not the introduced orange ladybugs, but the native red ladybugs of our childhood." We look for ladybugs, Red Wing Blackbird nests hanging in tall grasses, turkey eggs buried in deep, thick forage of four-leaf clovers, and Milkweed covered in Monarch caterpillars. It's a marathon, not a race. But during farmer's market season, look out! The dog days of summer can move pretty slow, but the "morning webs of dew" (Wade came up with that one) decorating the fenceline and pasture on early August mornings are breathtaking. Chip and I met because of writing. I am an award-winning, farm/ranch life-themed children's author. Adolescence in nature with parents who immersed their children in wildlife gave me a gift. Chip writes poetry, short stories, and narrative and has spent time studying journalism. Chip is a 5th generation rancher. A childhood spent as the son of a flower child and horse trader and 15 years of US Army Ranger training and deployment has given him perspectives you don't see daily. I'm looking very forward to reading his novel. We enjoy the creative process on paper and in business. Encouraging creativity in Wade is a passion for us. There are just so many perspectives to life. Empathy for living things is a must and rewards us with a beautiful life of creativity. The best moments for us are brainstorming sessions at the kitchen table. Funny, but the 9-year-old comes up with the best business ideas. https://grassfedcooperative.com/member-areas-4 daily 0.75 2023-07-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1598982813559-DHB569VJA8YHIM3MKV5J/class_computer.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1599662372718-S23594AX95H5WC55TKK8/class_desk.jpg
