The Schaendorf Family has been farming in West Michigan for generations. In 1994, just a few miles northwest of the village of Hopkins, John Schaendorf and his family purchased an 80-acre Dairy Farm. With humble beginnings of milking just 30 cows, John and his family worked very hard and diligently to build up their farm over the next two decades, caring for their animals and the land. In the summer of 2016, John and his son Ben decided to venture out and start Schaendorf Cattle Co. They believed that people were wanting to have a connection where their food comes from and felt that they could fulfill that need along with offering high-quality products direct to the consumer. One thing that separates Schaendorf Cattle Co. from the competition, is that the animals that we market are under our supervision from start to finish. This practice assures that the cattle are always provided with proper Housing, Nutrition and Quality Cow Care. A Happy Cow is usually a Healthy Cow! We keep our cattle happy and healthy by providing them with clean low-stress living conditions. They are always free roaming and allowed much more space per animal than conventional methods. Our barn also provides them with year-round shade, great airflow, and fresh water.
