Wallace Farms was co-founded by several members of the Wallace Family,
who believe in the dramatic health benefits provided in grass-fed beef. We
grew up in rural Iowa, where growing corn and soybeans is the livelihood of
our fathers and grandfathers. As you might expect, our family, friends and
neighbors have been raising grain-fed beef for decades. Nonetheless, in
2001, we began taking note of the mounting evidence that illustrated
significant health benefits in eating grass-fed vs. grain-fed meat.
Steve Wallace, our patriarch, is a 30-year veteran in agri-business with
unique qualifications in the area of forage grasses. His years of experience
and connections with grass growers and beef producers is the framework
for our vision and passion. Steve has a Masters degree in ruminant nutrition
from Iowa State University and has worked as a family farmer and farm
management consultant for years. He is currently active as a sales/marketing
executive and research consultant for a leading, international grass seed
company.
Nick Wallace joined his father at the company in 2004. Nick now oversees
all day-to-day operations at the company, in addition to living on the farm
that includes the Wallace Farms headquarters.
Lisa Wallace - Nick's sister-in-law - manages the new Wallace Farms
warehouse in Naperville, IL. Lisa also works with Nick in our effort to expand
Wallace Farms reach throughout the Chicagoland area.
It is our collective mission to bring superior grass-fed beef and other
naturally-raised meats and wild fish to all of our customers. Wallace Farms
is your alternative to food that is raised and processed in a factory-like setting.
The recent, Oscar-nominated documentary Food, Inc. has been widely
acclaimed for shedding light on these unhealthy practices
