Looking for a thoughtful gift that supports your local community? Locally-raised meat is a standout option—just ask one of our staff members, who calls the 1/8 beef they once received “the best gift that kept giving for months!”
For the meat-lovers on your list, consider Bamf Stock Farms, featured in the Minnesota Grown Gift Guide. This family-run farm near Cannon Falls delivers high-quality, farm-to-table meats right to your loved ones’ door—perfect for gifting convenience and flavor all year long.
At the heart of BAMF Stock Farms are Wade Beyer, a Navy veteran and engineer, and his wife Kayla, a lawyer and entrepreneur. Both grew up on farms and returned to their roots a decade ago. Their full-time farming journey began with one heifer and a dream. Today, with help from their five kids, they care for pigs, chickens, and over 150 head of cattle, while also nurturing the land with regenerative practices. “Soil is our most valued asset,” Wade explains. “We’re focused on not just taking care of it but improving it with natural practices that mimic nature.”
For Wade, farming is also about family. “It’s hard work, but so rewarding to see our kids master farm challenges like pulling calves. Those are lessons you can’t learn in school.”
BAMF makes it easy to gift their exceptional meats. Their Farmer’s Share Subscription splits 1/4 beef, 1/2 hog, and chicken into manageable portions delivered monthly or quarterly—no chest freezer required! Givers can also pre-book a quarter beef or hog, or a year’s supply of steaks and bacon. As Wade puts it, “Food is something everyone needs versus just giving more stuff.”
When you buy from local farms, you’re giving more than a thoughtful gift—you’re supporting your community and helping family-run farms thrive. “Buying from a local farmer cuts out the middlemen,” Wade says. “We put in a different level of quality and care. You're supporting families who put their heart and soul into what they do.”
This holiday season, make your gifts unforgettable—and local. Explore BAMF Stock Farms’ Farmer Share Subscription and discover more unique, locally-grown gifts in the Minnesota Grown Gift Guide.
