ABOUT THE FARM
|
Riewe Farms is a fourth-generation, family-owned and operated dairy farm with deep roots in the community. The
farm was originally purchased by Adolph and Ida Riewe in 1915. In 1946, Clair and Delores Riewe assumed operations, followed by Richard and Diane Riewe in 1982. In 2024, the farm proudly transitioned to the next generation, with brothers Charlie and Kenny taking over day-to-day operations. Today, the core team includes Charlie and Kenny along with one full-time employee and three part-time employees. Over the years, the farm has grown to encompass nearly 300 acres and currently milks 140 cows twice daily in a double-8 parallel parlor, reflecting both a commitment to tradition and modern dairy practices. At the heart of Riewe Farms is a family deeply connected to the community. Charlie and his wife, Keriann, are raising their sons, Bennett and Greyson, with an appreciation for agriculture, service, and the importance of giving back to the community. Kenny and his wife, Stevie, are instilling those same values in their children, Wyatt and Riley, teaching them the meaning of responsibility, teamwork, and caring for the land and neighbors around them. Together, these families represent the future of Riewe Farms, blending deep agricultural roots with a shared dedication to family, faith, and the local community.
