Come see where exceptional eating begins-
Vande Rose tells their story:
Every morning, as the sun rises over our little corner of southeast Iowa, everyone here at Vande Rose Farms is pretty much hard at work. Each day starts early and usually doesn't end until the sun has long settled in the west.
At first glance you might say we grow crops, raise pigs and manage cattle here, but we do much more than that. At Vande Rose Farms, we believe if you're going to do something, do it right and be the best. It's been that way for more than 100 years. Each and every day, we strive to produce exceptionally flavored beef and pork and do it in a way that is sustainable and responsible. This is the formula that has kept our farms flourishing for five generations. It's how we plan to secure a way of life our children and our children's children can enjoy.
Balanced focus, 100 years in the making
For more than a century, our families have been successful because we've maintained a balanced focus on conscientious farming practices and exceptional tasting beef and pork. We feed no growth promotants, hormones or antibiotics to our livestock. We care for and protect the natural environment around us. And we treat our neighbors, our employees and our customers like family because family comes first.
Our Duroc hogs and Hereford cattle are our livelihood, so it's in our best interest to raise our livestock humanely and keep them comfortable when possible. Family members personally hand select the best Hereford cattle and Duroc hogs for harvesting, and process them in a manner that retains the taste for which both breeds are known.
Taking the time to take the time
Vande Rose Farms is large enough to meet the growing demand for great tasting Premium Hereford Beef and Premium Duroc Pork, but we're small enough to take the time to take the time. As consumers ourselves, we believed that people enjoy our pork for its great flavor and appreciate how it is raised. We also believe that people want to know what they're eating and where it comes from, so we choose from proven genetic lines, carefully track every animal from its source and maintain extensive production records, all the way to the local foodservice or retail outlet.

Feed & Waste Management:
100% of all Vande Rose Farms pork is fed source verified grains that come from our family farms and our neighbor’s farms. No Antibiotics or Growth Hormones are ever fed to the hogs. Feed is finely milled on our farm to assure quality control. The finely milled feed is very healthy for the pig’s digestive system and creates balanced natural growth. There fore creating true, all natural pork products. All manure (waste) from our hogs is applied to our fields as a way to recycle, therefore eliminating the need to buy commercial fertilizers. The manure in injected into the soil using precise calculations and grid mapping so that the adequate amount of nitrogen is applied to our soils, prior to planting our corn seeds. This method of using natural fertilization combined with using European/Global approved seed develops the purest feed available for our Duroc hogs. Our farms file a waste management plan to the Department of Natural Resources and abide by the strictest of standards.
