Branched Oak Farm is located 16 miles from downtown Lincoln, NE. We farm on 230 acres and raise pastured laying hens, eggs, and have a growing dairy herd. We are customer certified and have sold all of the food we grow on our farm directly to customers from our on-farm store. This year was the first we went to farmer's market in Lincoln and Omaha to sell our first type of cheese: Quark. During the grass season, we rotate the cattle and chickens through the pasture to give them access to the best grass possible. Along with managemenet intensive rotational grazing, we use other holistic management practices to encourage wildlife and natural biodiversity on our farm. Join us for a butter-making class on June 3rd from 6:30-8pm.
