From our family to yours

Seven generations of farming, four on this land.

I'm Emily Shivers, and along with my husband Ben, we're raising our three kids as the 4th generation on this farm. Farming isn't just what we do — it's who we are.

As a family, we work together every single day. Emily handles meat sales and runs our farm store. Ben and Neal manage the livestock and our row crop operation. Carol keeps us all organized with the books and paperwork.

Our kids are the 4th generation on this specific farm, but they're actually the 7th generation of Shivers farmers in Polk County. That heritage goes all the way back to 1830 when Reason Pearle homesteaded ground on 56th Street in Pleasant Hill.
