Your local family raised beef, pork & chicken
Your local family raised beef, pork & chicken
Welcome to Little Farmer Meats, we're glad you're here. We are a small family farm that raises beef, pork and chicken. Our simple goal is to provide your family with wholesome, affordable, and delicious meats.
Little Farmer Meats is owned and operated by Ryan, Kara, Reid and Kayleigh Olson. Ryan grew up on a dairy farm in Fort Atkinson. He always had a love for animals and working in the fields growing crops. Kara grew up on a small family dairy farm north of Milwaukee. Married in 2008, we dreamed of working together on our own farm someday, raising a family. Now we are. Reid our first little farmer was born in 2015 and sister Kayleigh joined us in November of 2017.
Farming is our family tradition that we want to share with Reid & Kayleigh. Kara's dad unfortunately passed away shortly before Reid was born, but we know how much he had hoped for a grandson to be a farming buddy after having two daughters of his own. We will make him proud. Reid and Kayleigh are already the next generation in the family business, growing up on a farm and raising meat for families like yours.
What started seven years ago as a hobby for Ryan and Kara, raising steers, pigs and chickens for family and friends, has now grown. After receiving many compliments about how much people enjoyed our meat, we decided to take it to the next step. We feel fortunate that we always have a freezer full of delicious meat that we are proud of. Now we want to share that with others.
We guarantee you will notice the difference from our family-raised meat versus what you purchase at the grocery store. We raise our animals in the most humanely way possible with no antibiotics or hormones, ensuring they receive high quality feed and live a life with no extra stress. We believe this is the best recipe for growing the most delicious tasting meat possible.
We offer quarter, half and whole animals direct from our farm. WHEN YOU BUY FROM US, YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOUR FOOD IS COMING FROM AND HOW THE ANIMALS WERE RAISED.
Thank you for visiting. We're glad you're here.

To ORDER send us an email at littlefarmermeats@gmail.com
It's easy to order from us. Get in touch with us and let us know what size (quarter, half or whole) and what animal (beef, pig or chicken) you are interested in and we will let you know the next available butcher date. You then fill out a simple cut up sheet from the butcher with exactly how you would like the meat cut up for your family. You can pick up directly from the butcher or we can arrange delivery. Payment is due when you pick up the meat.
All meat is frozen at the butcher and heat sealed, (vacuum packaging is an option). Each type of cut is labeled on the packaging.
While it may seem like an investment to purchase your meat by quarter, half or whole animal, the price is right. You ultimately pay about hamburger price for all your quality cuts of meat.
Our pledge: If you are not satisfied with the quality of the meat you ordered from us, we will buy it back from you.

What others are saying about Little Farmer Meats....
"I highly recommend Little Farmer’s beef. The steaks and roasts are very tender and the hamburger is full of flavor with very little fat. We don’t order steak at a restaurant anymore as Ryan and Kara’s steaks are as good or better than those served at a restaurant. A farmer myself, I appreciate buying locally raised beef from a family who gives exceptional care to their animals. You will not be disappointed purchasing Little Farmer’s beef. They have spoiled us. I never want to buy beef in a grocery store again."- Joyce Uglow
"We just ordered our fourth pig and have gotten 8-10 whole chickens so far. We love the quality and taste of their pork and chicken and knowing how and where our food comes from. We no longer buy any meat from the supermarket thanks to the Olson family! Just try the bacon...you'll be hooked." - the Morris family
We look forward to hearing from you. We understand that purchasing meat directly from a farmer maybe something new to you so please contact us with ANY questions you may have.
With sincere thanks-
Kara, Ryan, Reid & Kayleigh Olson
