Our Story

A health crisis in the Allgyer family started it all.

Prairie Foods was founded by Daniel & Lydia Allgyer and family. They had health issues in their family. After seeing multiple doctors with no results, they came to realize that the only way to be truly healthy was to begin with their diet.

They healed with clean food from regenerative farmers.

They began sourcing their food from healthy soils and had amazing results! They also began to understand that a lot of what they were growing on their farm was not only killing the soil, but it was also creating sickness for those eating the foods grown in those soils.

In 2017, Daniel & Lydia brought animals back to the land.

They began a new journey. They installed a great deal of fencing and brought animals back on the land. Two changes occurred - the soil health improved and their health issues began to diminish! They have since gone a long way in healing the soil and bringing it back to life. Though they don't yet have the dark, rich, high-organic-matter soil that once formed this country (before man mined the soil), they've headed in that direction. They plan to continue improving the soil in the years to come.

Prairie Foods was born from a passion to help others.

It was with these results - and a desire to help people with similar problems - that Dan & Lydia's passion for growing good food and building healthy soil developed. And so, they founded Prairie Foods.

They partnered with like-minded farmers.

They were on their own. They couldn't possible produce, process, and market all the product they wanted to offer. So, they decided to team up with like-minded farmers. Together, they grow and raise these clean and nourishing foods. As they gather more minds and hands to the table, they have all become stronger.

Prairie Foods is a collection of plain sect farmers who value simple, natural living.

All food in this private buying club is produced by "plain sect" (Amish and Mennonite) farmers who value a simple lifestyle. They all love to farm because of the connection it brings to our Creator and because of the lifestyle it provides for their families. The Prairie Foods farmers love working with their families on the land, and they love raising our animals in an all-natural, healthy environment. They are happy that their animals and land are all free from pesticides, herbicides, vaccines, wormers, growth hormones, and GMOs.

After all, healthy soil creates nutritionally dense food.

All of our farmers are passionate about creating healthy soils. The result is that our products are not only nutritionally dense but also provide us all with the best of health. Our farmers know that healthy, happy animals provide the best-tasting products, and they want to provide the best for their customers and their families. Everyone at Prairie Foods wants their customers to enjoy the food they love, knowing that it is safe for both themselves and for their children.
