Brad and Brian Lundell:

family and community-focused pig farmers.

Brothers Brian and Brad Lundell are continuing their family farm tradition by working together to care for their pigs and the land and water around them. They also show the many ways that pig farmers invest in and give back to their communities, including serving on the local fire department.

What It’s Like to Care for Pigs Each Day

Brian and Brad Lundell spend their days taking care of their pigs. They help ensure their pigs’ well-being and provide them with a safe, healthy environment. It’s a responsibility they take seriously – not just because it’s critical to their livelihoods, but because it’s the right thing to do.

Building Stronger Communities Together

The Lundell family takes great pride in their local community and finds joy in raising their kids there. Whether it’s grilling pork burgers at school events, cheering on their kids at sports games, or dedicating time to volunteer at the local fire department, they are proud to be good neighbors.

Embracing Technology to Care for Pigs and the Environment

It can be challenging to keep up with the latest technology. Brad and Brian Lundell embrace technological advances on the farm to help them care for their pigs and be good stewards of the land – as generations before them have done.
