Our Story

"Family Owned and Operated"

At Schoen Farms, our roots run deep—spanning over four generations of dedication to the land and a shared love for nature. What began as a humble farmstead has grown into a legacy of stewardship, hard work, and a commitment to nurturing both the earth and the wildlife that calls it home.

Our journey started with a simple dream: to cultivate the land sustainably and contribute to the beauty of the world around us. Through decades of farming, we’ve learned that true success comes not just from what we harvest but from how we care for the environment and the communities we serve.

Over the years, Schoen Farms has evolved into a trusted provider of premium wild bird feed. Each mix is a product of generations of knowledge, cultivated on our lands and inspired by the joy of seeing nature flourish. We take pride in supporting bird enthusiasts, from backyard birdwatchers to avid naturalists, by offering high-quality products that help nourish and attract wildlife.

Today, Schoen Farms is more than a farm—it’s a promise to continue the tradition of sustainability, family values, and a deep respect for nature. Whether it’s in the golden fields we tend, the vibrant birds that gather, or the friendships we’ve built along the way, our story is one of growth, care, and connection.

Welcome to Schoen Farms, where every seed sown and every bird fed is a testament to the beauty of working in harmony with the natural world.

At Schoen Farms, our mission is simple: to nurture the bond between people and nature by providing high-quality, sustainable bird feed that supports wildlife, inspires bird lovers, and reflects our deep-rooted commitment to the land we call home.

We believe that every seed we sow and every product we create is an opportunity to make a positive impact on the environment and the communities we serve.
