What started with one Holstein calf in 2015 grew into a thriving farm store, award-winning beef, and a loyal customer base built almost entirely through word of mouth.

From Sarah’s fifth-generation farming roots to Nick’s crop farming background, Sawmill Creek Farms was built through years of hard work, family tradition and a shared love of agriculture. Today, their farm continues to grow while raising the meat sold in their own farm store.

Misinformation about livestock care can spread quickly, especially when it comes to vaccines. Sarah shares her perspective as a lifelong farmer on why vaccines are used in cattle, how they help protect herd health, and why asking farmers directly can provide important context.

Another harvest season is in the books! While the long corn harvest made for a challenging finish, there’s nothing quite like working together as a family in the fields. Now it’s time to clean up, put the equipment away and get the farm ready for winter.

From Sarah’s fifth-generation farming roots and Nick’s crop farming background to a growing livestock operation and farm store, Sawmill Creek Farms has become a true family legacy. Today, the farm raises its own animals, grows its own feed and continues building toward the next generation.

What started as another day working with the cows turned into an unforgettable surprise. Sawmill Creek Farms received a special tribute recognizing our 2023 Best Beef in the West award and another proud milestone for our family farm.

Eleven years ago, Sarah and Nick spent date nights together in the combine while living nearly three hours apart. Today, that same field holds a new memory as they harvest side by side—Nick in the combine and Sarah driving the grain cart.

We’re excited to be featured in American Beef Producer magazine! The article shares the story of Sawmill Creek Farms, our growth over the years, and the incredible experience of winning Best Beef in the West. Paper copies will also be available at the farm store.

Family day of combining corn today!
