About Us - Kadelbach Organic Farms

Kadelbach’s 1960 Farmall 560 and 5100 Grain drill that was used to plant the alfalfa and wheat the first year.

In 2007, Glen Kadelbach was harvesting conventional soybeans when he noticed his neighbor’s crop. The neighbor’s soybeans were tall, bushy, and filled with pods, while Glen’s looked poor in comparison. Curious, Glen began to ask questions: Who managed that field? Why did their beans appear so much healthier? He discovered they were Certified Organic. This revelation sparked new ideas about farming for Glen, leading him to connect with the grower who would become his mentor.

In late February, Glen’s father passed away, leaving the family to navigate the future of the farm. With their children being just 1 and 2 years old, Glen and Stephanie chose to avoid exposing them to harmful chemicals. As a result, they decided to transition their farm to organic practices.

By mid-March, Glen placed an order for alfalfa and wheat seeds, intending to produce hay during the transition phase. Organic transition takes 36 months after the last use of synthetic chemicals.
