Isaac and Hannah Rae Behrens own and operate Cloverland Farm. They keep 500 hens and 70 ducks and sell eggs from both. They raise pastured pork and sell whole and half pigs and keep honeybees and sell raw honey and mated queen bees, in addition to having a small flock of sheep and raising some meat, chickens, and turkeys every year. As farmers, they care most about the health of their animals and the health of the soil on the farm. Their animals are fed a whole grain, diversified diet and are given ample space to peck, scratch, root around, and enjoy life. Their ducks and pork are rotated through a fresh green pasture, and they are moving closer each year to having a good rotation for their hens. You can find their eggs for sale in Marquette at the Marquette Food Co-op and Lakeshore Depot, and in Ishpeming at Rare Earth Goods. You can enjoy their eggs in tasty dishes at our restaurant (Steinhaus), Marquette Baking Company, and the Rare Earth Goods Café. Contact the farm directly if you are interested in pastured pork. Hannah Rae has an herbal consulting business called Cloverland Botanicals, which can be found on Facebook. They look forward to finding more happy duck and chicken egg customers and are hoping to expand the farm enough to scale back on their primary jobs to be able to spend more time caring for the farm.
