Meet
Kevin and Lisa Rasmussen:
farmers, environmental stewards and community leaders.

Kevin and Lisa Rasmussen know that it takes a village to be successful farmers. They need their neighbors, local businesses and veterinarians to raise healthy pigs in a thriving community. The Rasmussens are also focused on doing their part and want to be remembered for giving back to their community and caring for the land for future generations.
