Our Story

Ernie Klander, Ten Mile Farms owner

We are a 2nd generation butcher farm, specializing in custom cut and wrap of beef and pork. We pride ourselves on consistency and quality. Our business is family owned and operated right here on our homestead. We raise beef cows year round and have an abundance of farm and family pets. We look forward to serving your family year after year.

Ernie has over 30 years experience in the meat cutting industry. His training began alongside his parents, processing beef and pork right here in the same shop we run today. He then went on to manage meat departments for Brown & Cole, and the Markets for 22 years. Ernie has worked with many experienced meat cutters throughout his career, learning from their skills and techniques so that he can provide his customers the absolute best. Working in the grocery business has given Ernie excellent customer service skills and an eye for cutting each piece of meat to look appetizing. Besides being a butcher, Ernie is very involved in supporting the future of our farming community. He supports many local 4H clubs, FFA chapters and local livestock sales. Helping kids raise and process animals is important to Ernie, he is always happy to talk and teach them so that they can do their very best.

Ernie, Jeanie, and their children work all the aspects of the business, from raising animals to cleaning the meat shop each day. When we are not cutting meat, we are working our animals, attending our kids many events, and updating our farm & facility.

By far the friendliest meat processing butcher shop we have ever been to. Our first trip will not be our last. Clean inside, butcher came out to meet and greet, packs was well wrapped and so nicely separated and labeled. All my requests were met with smiles, I am personally grateful for the time they gave us today.We are loaded for home.

We absolutely love working with Ernie and the crew at Ten Mile Meats. Our needs and requests (some of which were unique) were listened to and thoughtfully answered. Our animals were handled with love and respect. The farm was peaceful and calm, the ideal environment for animals to rest in before processing for low-stress, tender meat. We cannot wait to work with Ten Mile Meats again and keep filling our family's freezers with carefully aged and processed meat! Thank you Ernie and family for providing this artisan resource to the homesteading and farming community.

Just had a hog butchered here, and let me tell you... they do a BEAUTIFUL job with their cut and wrap. They're busy, so get your butcher dates scheduled way in advance, but you'll be thrilled with how nice a job they do handing your meat. Nice, clean facility and very friendly folks.

April 20, 2023 I had 2 Hereford steers of mine transported to Ten Mile Meats for processing. I am most impressed withe the beef cuts offered. I expect my own excellent organic beef will be even better than previous years.

We have had a side of beef cut and wrapped by Ernie. Absolutely pleased with his work. He listened and cut it exactly how we wanted. We have had the same results with a couple sides of pig. We highly recommend Ernie and Ten Mile Meats.
