As a veteran Chef and part of the Portland, OR restaurant scene, I have seen first hand the birth of new trends in local, sustainable cuisine. Visiting and dealing with local farms has been a significant part of my career. As the Personal Chef to Jody Stahancyk and the Law Firms of Stahancyk, Kent, Johnson & Hook PC, Dancing Cow Farm is the first place I head for produce when I get to Central Oregon. Actually, I believe it was their eggs that got me. The richness and deep color of the yolks took me back to the time of my childhood in Spain. Thank you, Jerre and Sean for running a great local, sustainable, organic operation, and giving Central Oregon such options.

When I saw my Chef showing the Dancing Cow Farm eggs to my husband as if they were Faberge Eggs, I couldn't figure why until I tasted them. It took me back to the time growing up when my family had fresh eggs. It's amazing how fresh and properly raised eggs, meat, and vegetables, especially potatoes just have a different taste. Whenever we cook locally, Dancing Cow Farm is our first choice. In Portland, we give their produce as gifts because it is so special. It also doesn't hurt that Jerre and Sean are such lovely people and caring members of the community to whom I happily lend my support.

Jerre and Sean are incredible people who really understand and apply sustainable production practices. They are very knowledgeable and willing to share their expertise with anyone interested in learning. The diversity of DCF makes this farm unique; the sincerity of Jerre and Sean makes it special. We are fortunate to have Dancing Cow Farm in Central Oregon.

It was connection at first meeting when I first was introduced to Jerre and Sean and DCF, we were both doing similar ventures of small scale agriculture, pastured chickens and pastured meat. I was planning my gardens, but they were light years ahead. I quickly was out-distanced in scope and ingenuity! Both Jerre and Sean are a wealth of information and their farm has soul. I became a CSA member for produce instead! Now I head that direction whenever I need connection, comradeship and heritage meat or vegies. The karma is good there!

In our "wildest imagination" we never dreamed that I, a San Francisco raised woman, or my husband, an Oakland, CA raised man, would ever care or think about from where the food we ate came (much less how it was grown!) - "The grocery store", of course? The wisdom to wonder, and courage to dare care came with age and then our arrival in Prineville - just in time for the first Prineville Farmers' Market. Thank you Jerre and Sean for sharing your energy and bounty! You've nourished our bodies and expanded our awareness, to say nothing of opening up a whole new food experience for these somewhat new residents! Doug and Mickey Dawson

Dancing Cow Farms is on the cutting edge of the sustainability movement and they really do practice what they preach. I would live on the farm if I could!

We are recent customers to DCF referred by friends. We are so glad we listened to good advice! We purchased beef and lamb and I am not overstating when I say it is hands down the best meat we've ever had. My husband is already planning his fall order. The willingness to deliver is awesome! It is a blessing to a busy family like us and our kids really enjoy knowing "their farmer." We are also eagerly anticipating the Mother's Day weekend Farm Daze when we can go out and tour where our food comes from.

I have been purchasing farm-fresh eggs from Dancing Cow Farm for over a year. I look forward to every delivery... store-bought eggs simply can't compare. My friends are probably tired of me raving about how wonderful these eggs taste!
I have also purchased beef from DCF and now my favorite meals to prepare are using this tender, delicious grass-finished beef.
Jerre and Sean are a pleasure to work with and I thoroughly enjoy receiving weekly food update emails. Jerre's words nourish both soul and body.
Thank you, Dancing Cow Farm.

Not only are Jerre & Sean good friends - but I've watched them build their dream of an organic oppoetunity to benefit all.
I've been buying their veggies for years.
In the past couple years I've started to invest in their Dexter Beef. Then in the last two years I've purchased whole lambs. Their eggs and chickens are incredible - and I've just learned to use the stewing chickens for my stock and broth creations.
Their service is personal - I'm not only proud to be a friend, but proud to be a part of their business.
Thank you Dancing Cow!

Sean and Jerre are in the leadership of our local healthy food/healthy soil industry. My wife, Gretchen, and I appreciate the fresh eggs and the Dexter beef is wonderful. Sean and Jerre also freely share what they know about sustainable agriculture... and they know a lot. We feel at home when visiting Dancing Cow Farm. And it is fun to be in a place where the folks 'walk their talk'.

We love Dancing Cow Farm! Since we're vegetarians and don't eat meat, we can't comment on that. But the eggs and vegetables are awesome.
We commend Jerre and Sean on their sustainable agricultural practices and want to support their operation as best we can.
Buy local!

We have been buying veggies and eggs from DCF since the beginning season of the Prineville Farmers' Market, and this year we have also enjoyed their beef and lamb.
Jerre and Sean work extremely hard to provide the best quality products and we enjoy purchasing and eating the results of their labor.

I love Dancing Cow Farms. Jerre and Sean are outstanding in their commitment to conscious cultivation of living and wholesome food. My son worked on the farm last summer and we've enjoyed learning about organic farming and getting food that we're actually connected to.
A first rate operations run by first rate people.

We have been a supporter of Dancing Cow farm for many years and highly recommend them as a supplier of organic food.
Our family of 4 has participated in their CSA for the past 5 years. We usually split a share with a friend as the quantity tends to be very generous and more than enough for two small families.
We are also big fans of their eggs which are the best we have ever eaten. Dancing Cow eggs are high quality and produced using the best quality feed.
We have also purchased portions of Lamb and Beef from them and have been very pleased with the flavor and quality.
On a more personal level we appreciate the hard work and effort that Sean and Jerre put into growing our food as well as their support of the local community through classes and organic advocacy. We feel they are good stewards of the land who care about what they do and the environment we all share.
Sincerely,
Chris Abramczyk
