OUR STORY

5th Generation Family-Owned Business

Granstrom Farms was established in 1908 and has grown everything from cows to chickens, and alfalfa to organic corn. Hear Grandpa tell the story below of how our family came to settle Nebraska. Then find out what we do today! 

ABOUT GRANSTROM FARMS

At 14 years old a young John Granstrom was sent by his family from Sweden to America to find work. Eventually, he found his way to the midwest and a wife along the way. A few kids and 3 generations later, Johnny inherited the farm from his dad, Buster. Now Johnny's son, JJ, is in charge and has recently brought his daughter on board to join in the business of running the family farm.
 

Over the last 50 years, Granstroms have managed a large cattle operation, grown and sold alfalfa in almost 40 states, and most recently made the big transition to organic farming. Big risks were taken and lessons have been learned, but today they have over 10 years of knowledge and data about large scale organic farming. 

HISTORY IN THE MAKING

Today we have an amazing team of people who are the roots that allow us to grow, and have been there like family and supported us through all of our new endeavours and crazy ideas. We appreciate the village it takes to progress this farm and look forward to see how Granstrom Farms will continue to blossom.
