Schwartz Farms Inc.

Last week, we had the opportunity to engage with our growers during our annual Grower's meeting. These gatherings provided a platform for us to communicate key industry insights, share updates from Schwartz Farms, and honor the commitment of our growers with tenure awards. We express our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated growers and their families. Your unwavering commitment to animal health and the time you invest in raising quality pork is truly appreciated! We’d also like to extend a huge thank you to our incredible vendors—Big Top Tents, Blue Stem Catering, Divot’s in Norfolk, NE, Sleepy Eye Event Center, and St. Mary’s Catering. Your contributions helped make our events a success, and we couldn’t have done it without you! Here’s to all who support agriculture and contribute to the growth and success of our industry. Thank you!

“When you work together, there's a strength that no obstacle can match.” This month we want to shine a spotlight on our South Dakota crew at Kaylor Sow Farm for their outstanding leadership and unwavering teamwork! The Kaylor team may be in their own little neck of the woods, but their dedication and passion for ensuring the well-being of the pigs is nothing short of inspiring. Whether it’s unique obstacles (derecho of 2022) or navigating the challenges of each day, they show up with unmatched commitment, care, and skill. Their hard work not only ensures the health and safety of our livestock but also sets the standard for excellence in animal care. We’re proud to have such a dedicated team that truly makes a difference. Here’s to many more successes and milestones ahead!

We're incredibly grateful to be involved in this remarkable industry. It is not only a significant privilege but also a profound duty to nourish the globe—something we at SFI are committed to wholeheartedly. To all those who share this mission, we wish you a wonderful National Ag Day! #NationalAgDay

At the end of the rainbow, there’s a pot o' gold... and a pig barn full of luck! 🍀🌈 Wishing everyone a cheerful St. Patrick's Day from all of us at SFI. May your day be filled with joy, laughter, and a little extra luck (just like our pigs)!
