Welcome to
The Snake River Farm 
​​
Minnesota

Established in 1970, our farm is located on the Snake River of Sherburne County. The River created a unique landscape of native prairie, oak savanna, wooded lowlands, wet meadows and tamarack swamp. We seasonally rotate herds through open and wooded pastures as is best for the animals and the land.

About the Farm

About this Site

We raise and sell grass fed bison, and beef and lamb, and pastured hogs, Geese, ducks and turkeys, direct to the consumer. 
Bison, beef, hogs and lamb are sold by the 1/4 and 1/2.  
Geese, ducks and turkeys are sold dressed, frozen and whole. 
We pasture raise all of our animals in a natural setting. 
We pasture harvest our bison and cattle to minimize stress for them and for us. 
We adopt mustang horses  from the BLM as yearlings. We train our horses to ride, to drive and for farm work. We have a one-room schoolhouse, farm museum and of course plenty of wildlife. The Snake River Farm welcomes visitors and tours especially educational groups, but by appointment only, as this is a working family farm.
The Snake River Farm is an active family farm and that is where our focus lies. On family and farming.  The purpose of this site is to help direct people to the proper spot based on needs.

​that meat at a fair price, to provide authentic country experiences to our customers.”  - Tom Barthel
