Saar Bank Farms

The Vanderlinde family has farmed this property since 1960. Harm and Magdalene took over the property in 1991 and as Saar Creek weaves through the farm Harm thought it fitting to name it Saar Bank Farms. This is where our farming story begins.

When Harm took over the farm in 1991, he decided that he wanted to convert the barns from a dairy farm to a hog farm as the opportunity seemed promising. So in 1991, he found a supply of wiener pigs and started the farm business of finishing pigs for market. Operations were small in the early years but as production grew a need arose for more space. A new barn was built in the year 2000 that was tailor made for raising healthy, happy pigs. The farm continued to grow and this barn was further expanded in 2006 to meet that need. The Vanderlindes admit that not all of their years on the farm have been good years and as a result the last market pigs were sold in July 2016.

Currently the farm offers a CSA program, Cashmere goats, and an event venue.
