| Wild Rose Pastures, LLC was formed by Janice and Ryan Marquardt on March 13, 2007. We believe in raising chemical-free, antibiotic-free animals who live a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. Our first year we raised 93 chicken broilers and 28 turkeys on pasture, and we sold out of turkeys by mid-October. We bought 40 acres north of Pella, IA in December of 2007 and moved in May. In 2009 we are raising over 600 broilers and 140 turkeys, please click on Products or How to Order for more information. | |
