Nearly 90 years after Ed and Johanna Larson
began farming in Magnolia Township, Don and Virginia carried
on the farming tradition in 1957 at the current Larson
Acres’ site. Today, Mike, Ed and Donald Larson — with the
help of children and spouses — are all involved with the
operation that has grown from humble beginnings to a dairy
that milks 2,900 cows and farms more than 5,000 acres while
supporting our local area and its environment.
Many things have changed since we first began farming, but the principles by which we operate haven’t. At Larson Acres, dairy farming is about producing high-quality milk. But it’s also much more than that. It is about doing what’s right for the families in our community, our animals and the environment.
