Welcome to Independence Family Farms, where two families come together, blending generations of ranching and farming heritage with a shared commitment to providing our community with the finest quality beef. Our story is one of hard work, dedication, and a passion for bringing back the true meaning of farm-to-table.

Our Story

Our Journey:
Independence Family Farms is the result of the collaboration between two families who share a deep love for the land and a commitment to sustainable agriculture and ranching. Let us introduce you to the families behind the scenes:

The Hamel Family:

For six generations, the Hamel family has been ranching and cultivating the rich soil of the Pacific Northwest. With roots deeply embedded in the local ranching and farming community, they bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table. Their commitment to traditional ranching and farming practices and a respect for the land has shaped our farm's foundation.

The Bush Family:

The Bush family brings a fresh perspective to the farm. Their journey towards sustainable living started as a desire to break free from the constraints of industrial food and corporate lifestyles. Through hard work and dedication, they found a kindred spirit in the Hamel family, and together, they embarked on a mission to provide the community with an alternative - a source of quality beef with a story.

Our Mission:
At Independence Family Farms, we are more than just beef producers. We're a collective effort to create a sustainable and independent food source for our community, rooted in ranching and farming traditions. Our mission is simple:

  • Quality Beef from Ranch to Table: We are committed to raising healthy, happy cattle on our ranch, ensuring that every cut of beef we provide is of the highest quality.

  • Independence from Industrial Food: We believe in a return to the basics - where consumers know where their food comes from. By choosing Independence Family Farms, you are supporting a movement towards independence from mass-produced, industrial food.

  • Community Connection: Our beef boxes are more than a product; they're a connection to the ranch, the farmers, and the traditions that make our community unique.
