CHAIN LAKE PASTURES

Chain Lake Pastures was established in 2016 by Rick and Sarah Cedergren, when we fulfilled a long-standing dream to return to the countryside and buy some land. Sarah and I both grew up in the Chisago Lakes area and then went off to college in the city. But 10+ years of urban life was more than this farm boy could tolerate. During our time in the city, I spent several years working for both local and global food manufacturers, and became disillusioned with the constant focus on bottom lines rather than healthfulness. I wanted better food for myself and my family... We believe animal husbandry is an equal partnership. We respect and honor our animals by allowing them to express their inherent animal-ness.
