​Family Farm Animals

Harmony Family Farm was established in 2016. The farm owners started out delivering around 12 dozen eggs every other week and now they deliver around 70 to 80 dozen every other week in the Swartz Creek community.

The farm provides farm fresh broiler birds and turkey. They have many rescue animals. They treat their meat animals with respect and dignity and provide them a healthy environment which includes grass, sun and exposure to natural dirt, which is important to their overall health.

The owners main goal on the farm is to provide safe and healthy eggs and meat. They strive to educate the public on where the food comes from and how it is raised.  Harmony Family Farm  started in the Swartz Creek Hometown Days Agricultural tent in 2017 and  have been bringing their animals every year since.  They are always looking for ways to keep kids connected to earth, plants and animals.​
