A Visit to Mill Hall

Daniel and Lydia Allgyer, regenerative farmers and parents in Mill Hall, Pennsylvania, and owners of Prairie Foods, have spent years transforming Daniel’s father’s 200 acre farm into an organic, regenerative oasis. Spurred by his own health journey, Daniel self-educated himself on how to move away from conventional GMO/pesticide farming towards sustainability, with a focus on grazing his cows, pigs, and chickens. Additional challenges not experienced by the typical American farmer, such as no gas/electric equipment, all work done manually and no outside help, Daniel stood beside beautiful, lush farmland, rich with microbes and worms.

Daniel expanded his work to a community-based business, selling a potpourri of meats, dairy, grains, eggs, soap, etc., on his website, (with the help of a non-Amish friend since they do not use technology on his farm). The success is evidenced by his own vibrant three healthy children, and the reclamation of his own health which he shares on his website and with his community.
