Our Story
Prairie Foods is owned by Daniel & Lydia Allgyer and family.
We started farming regeneratively after having health issues in the family, and after seeing multiple doctors with no results. We came to realize that the only way to be truly healthy was to begin with our diet.
With this in mind, we began sourcing our food from healthy soils, and we had amazing results!
We also began to understand that a lot of what we were growing on our farm was not only killing our soil, but was also creating sickness for those eating the foods grown in those soils.
In 2017, we began a new journey. We installed a great deal of fencing, and we brought animals back on the land. Two changes then occurred - our soil health improved, and our health issues began to diminish!
We have since gone a long way in healing our soil and bringing it back to life. Though we don't yet have the dark, rich, high-organic-matter soil that once formed this country (before man mined the soil), we have headed in that direction. We plan to continue improving our soil in the years to come.
It was with these results - and a desire to help people with similar problems - that our passion for growing good food and building healthy soil developed. And so, we founded Prairie Foods.
As we on our own were unable to produce, process, and market all the product we wanted to offer, we decided to team up with like-minded farmers. Together, we grow and raise these foods. As we have gathered more minds and hands to the table, we have all become stronger.
All food in this private buying club is produced by "plain sect" (Amish and Mennonite) farmers who value a simple lifestyle. We all love to farm - because of the connection it brings to our Creator, and because of the lifestyle it provides for our families. We love working with our families on the land, and we love raising our animals in an all-natural, healthy environment. We are happy that our animals and land are all free from pesticides, herbicides, vaccines, wormers, growth hormones, and GMOs.
We are very passionate about creating healthy soils. The result is that our products are not only nutritionally dense, but also provide us with the best of health.
We know that healthy, happy animals provide the best-tasting products, and we want to provide the best for our customers and their families. We also want our customers to enjoy the food they love, knowing that it is safe for both themselves, and for their children.
