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.
