About Brand Farms

A family tradition since 1957

Our Story

Brand Farms is a family dairy farm originally purchased in 1957 by German immigrants, Anton and Marie Brand, and has been passed down through four generations.

Aaron Brand is the fourth generation who farms with his father, John. His grandfather, Richard, was born in 1932 and still has a daily presence on the farm. The Brand Farms name is now well known in the community for farm fresh eggs and as a U-pick Apple Orchard.

What Our Visitors Say

Real experiences from farm friends

Our second visit to the Brand Family Farm was just as amazing as the first! We had an absolute blast playing in the corn, climbing the hay tower, and taking a relaxing hayride through the farm. The kids loved seeing the chickens, bouncing on the giant pumpkin, and we captured some incredible family photos that mom will treasure forever.

Nicole Fae

We came a few weeks early from being fully open but the owner was so friendly! He stopped what he was doing to talk and give me the address to his stand and sunflower field. What a great guy and thank you. Each spot was amazing! I can't wait to come back when fully open to see everything at the farm.

Among other variety of apples, I was happy to find the Zestar again. Just perfect for my preference of slightly tart, but with good sweetness. We also got honey and fresh eggs there. The staff is very helpful and informative.
