Sandy Acres is a family owned livestock and crop operation in Elk Mound, Wisconsin. Jeff and Marie Pagenkopf, the owners, take pride in caring for their animals and the land.
The farm was founded by Walt Pagenkopf, Jeff’s father, in 1948 and grown with Jeff’s mom, Mary, after the couples’ marriage in 1952. Throughout the years, it grew as a dairy farm for the Pagenkopf Family.
In 1981, Jeff married Marie, and Marie brought her passion for animals to the farming operation. In 1990, the name Sandy Acres Dairy was established to acknowledge the somewhat sandy land the farmstead stood on.
In 2013, Jeff and Marie made the decision to change focus within the agriculture industry. After selling the dairy herd, the couple continued their love for cattle, animals, and the land by moving to raising primarily Miniature Herefords and a few Braunveih cattle as well as Katahdin Sheep. In addition to the beef and sheep, goats, Gypsy Vanner horses, Miniature Horses, donkeys, Potbellied Pigs, cats and dogs can all be found frolicking around the farm.
In the fall of 2017, Sandy Acres became a licensed meat retailer. The meat animals are raised at the farm, processed locally, and sold here at the farm! If you are interested in giving it a try or visiting our farm, please call us.
