(IARN) — A year ago, I had the chance to go out to the Griffieon Family Farm just north of Ankeny. I was out there to talk about the family’s involvement with selling seed corn for Wyffels. However, I learned so much more about that family and their operation. Not only do they sell seeds and farm, but they also have a farm-direct meat business. I checked in with the Griffieon Family once again, to see how this pandemic has affected their business. It sounds like they have a good problem.
LaVon Griffieon is the matriarch of the family and she oversees the farm’s direct meat marketing operation. They sell non-GMO fed beef, pork, lamb, turkey, and chicken. Not only do they sell meat, but they also have laying hens producing eggs. With the changes the public has made in purchasing food over the past few weeks, Griffieon says it is easy to notice things have changed.
