The Slagel family operates a small diversified farm in Central Illinois, raising cattle, hogs, lamb, goats, chicken, turkey and duck. Slagel’s meats are cut at their own local USDA inspected butcher shop and are commonly featured in the best Chicago restaurants.

The Wheelers raise grain-fed cattle with top Angus genetics, producing beef that is much more flavorful and tender than cattle raised solely on grass. All animals are raised without hormones, growth enhancers or continual antibiotics.
