About Brand Farms

A Family Tradition Since 1957

Our History

Brand Farms is a family dairy farm originally purchased in 1957 by German immigrants, Anton and Marie Brand, and has been passed down through four generations.

Aaron Brand is the fourth generation who farms with his father, John. His grandfather, Richard, was born in 1932 and still has a daily presence on the farm.

Eggs, Apples and More!

Aaron dreamed of expanding what the farm had to offer and the Brand Farms name is now well known in the community for the farm fresh eggs that are available year-round thanks to the 2500 or so hens that live happily at the farm.

Brand Farms is also a well-known family favorite as a U-pick Apple Orchard. The locally grown apples are also distributed to local schools for their lunch programs!
