Branched Oak Farm is located 16 miles from downtown Lincoln, NE. We farm on 230 acres and raise a growing dairy herd. We are certified organic and sell all of the food we grow on our farm locally to customers from our on-farm store, farmers markets and local grocery stores. The cheeses we offer vary seasonally, but include: quark, fresh mozzarella, camembert, morbier, and gouda. During the grass season, we rotate the cattle 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 our annual farm tour October 25th from 1-4pm. Please visit our website for alternate directions to the farm due to road construction.
