Swanstrom Family Farms
Ottumwa, Iowa
We are a family who operates a multi generational farm in south east Iowa. Robert Swanstrom started farming in 1952, his son Ron took over after college, and Alex came back after college and a financial services career.
In spring you can find us planting crops and calving cows. During the summer we stay baling hay and manage the cows on pasture. In fall we harvest crops and prepare for winter in Iowa. Winter brings a number of challenges with frozen waterers, snow and ice storms and cold temperatures.
Our focus is providing high quality beef direct to consumers. We have been selecting genetics for high marbling for several years resulting in USDA choice and prime grade beef.

Beef Brisket Delivered to Your Door
Rich, smoky, and made for low-and-slow perfection.
Brisket is the ultimate cut for BBQ lovers and slow-cooking enthusiasts. Known for its bold flavor and tender texture when cooked properly, this cut comes from the breast of the animal and benefits from long, slow smoking or braising. Whether you're smoking it for a backyard gathering or slow-roasting it for Sunday dinner, brisket is a hearty, crowd-pleasing favorite.

Brisket is divided into two parts: the flat (leaner and great for slicing) and the point (fattier and great for burnt ends).
