SUSTAINABILITY AT KREHER'S
BETTER FOR OUR HENS, BETTER FOR OUR CROPS,

OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability at Kreher's is a holistic commitment that touches upon everything that we do including how we care for our flocks, our communities and one another. It also encompasses the approaches we use to produce the products we offer, as well as how we aim to conserve our natural resources.
​
Responsible farming, by its very nature, requires that you do things in the most sustainable manner in order to succeed. This is something that our family has understood and embraced from the founding of our family farm to present day.
As we celebrate a century of farming, this commitment remains steadfast, driving us to nurture a legacy that goes beyond the fields and into the fabric of our community at large, through maintaining a healthy, sustainable environmental footprint.
