Erickson Livestock
Hayes Center · Butcher, fruit & vegErickson Livestock is a family run farm in Hayes Center, in the canyon country of southwest Nebraska, where a young couple raise pasture raised pork alongside show hogs, goats and a flock of poultry. Their pigs roam and root outdoors, are moved to fresh pasture through the summer, and eat a balanced corn and soybean meal alongside what they forage. The farm is PQA certified for responsible pork production and composts manure to keep the animal areas clean. The herd began with a gift of three gilts and a bred sow from a grandfather in Illinois, building on generations of family pig keeping. USDA inspected pork cuts went on sale at local markets in the fall of 2024: sausage, bacon, ham, ribs, steaks and roasts, cured or uncured, plus half and whole hogs for the freezer. The farm also sells farm fresh eggs, hatching eggs, and seasonal fruit and vegetables such as tomatoes, onions, garlic and dill.
Shalom Farms
Lincoln · Butcher, raw milkShalom Farms is a small family farm on an acreage between Lincoln and Denton in Nebraska, run by Jeffrey and Lorraine Penner. It began in the spring of 2020, when Jeffrey's parents gave them a miniature donkey called Alvin and the couple built a house on his parents' 23 acre place southwest of Lincoln so they could farm and help care for them. A pair of miniature horses followed, then goats and sheep in 2021. The farm ran as Penner Mini Farms as a hobby until 2024, when the Penners made it a business and renamed it Shalom Farms. Jeffrey grew up on a dairy farm in southwest Nebraska and still works as a computer programmer; Lorraine, who moved to Nebraska from California as a teenager, had no farm experience at all before 2020 and writes about learning it all as she goes. They milk Nubian, Alpine Nubian cross and Mini Nubian dairy goats, plus a registered LaMancha, in a small milking parlour in the barn, and sell the raw goat milk through a herdshare and a direct sales waiting list. Milking season runs from roughly April or May to October rather than all year, because it follows the kids. The same milk goes into their hand made goat milk soap. They keep American Blackbelly hair sheep for 100 percent grass fed lamb, sold whole on a waitlist, and they say they were the first registered breeders of Pineywoods cattle in Nebraska, a small hardy heritage breed they chose because it finishes on grass and hay with no grain. Beef is sold by the half or the whole on hanging weight, processed between 18 and 30 months. Farm fresh eggs are on the list too, and the hay the animals eat, a mixture of grass and legumes, is grown on the farm. Orders are collected at the farm or at a pick up point at 70th and Highway 2.
Payne Creek Acres
Stanton · Butcher, raw honeyPayne Creek Acres is a small family farm in the rolling hills of Northeast Nebraska, near Stanton. The family describes itself as small scale, community centered and regenerative, working to rebuild depleted soils and build a diverse ecosystem on their own land rather than lean on outside certifications. They say they want neighbours to know where their food comes from, to enjoy it and to share it. Through their online farm shop the family sells pastured lamb by the cut and raw honey from their own hives, alongside home baked sourdough English muffins, breads, hand pies and cookies, with some lines seasonally out of stock. There are no fixed opening hours, so orders and pickups are arranged directly with the farm.
