OUR MISSION
Rooted in Faith. Grown With Care.
At Sands Farms, farming is more than our livelihood—it’s our calling. Since 1846, our family has upheld strong Christian values, responsible land stewardship, and a deep respect for every animal under our care. We grow corn, soybeans, wheat, and hay, and raise over 38,000 pigs and a growing herd of cattle with expert care and compassion.
“And on the eighth day, God looked down on His planned paradise and said, ‘I need a caretaker.’ So God made a farmer.”
– Paul Harvey

From pasture to plate, Sands Farms delivers the kind of flavorful, high-quality meats you won’t find in a supermarket. We offer a variety of freezer beef, Indiana Kitchen pork, and our signature Big Boss BBQ cuts, all processed with care and available for local pickup.

What We Raise
We’re proud to raise high-quality grain and livestock with care, purpose, and generations of experience. Our farm is home to thriving herds of hogs and cattle, as well as acres of corn, soybeans, wheat, and hay. Every animal is raised with integrity, and every crop is grown with sustainability in mind—because what we raise, we raise for our family and yours.
Livestock Operation
We raise thousands of hogs each year in modern, climate-controlled barns. Our farm transitioned from farrow-to-finish to feeder-to-finish in the 1990s to deliver healthier, faster-growing pigs.
Grain Farming
We grow high-yield corn, soybeans, wheat, and hay using innovative methods like twin-row planting to maximize quality and sustainability.
Legacy Since 1846
Our farm is older than the town of Silver Lake itself—and we’re still growing strong. Our story is one of grit, grace, and generations of farming.
