On the farm with Dave.

All the pictures you have seen were taken by Dave on his phone, while farming our fields.

Dave loves what he does. He has worked on a farm all of his life.

Years ago my brother was serving a foreign mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  We wanted to go pick him up as a family, but with 8 children and their spouses there was no way, due to the cost.  Our dad, Dave, came up with a plan, he would buy the equipment to clean and package his wheat, then we would each be responsible to sell enough wheat to pay for the trip.  After a lot of hard work we sold enough wheat to pay for our whole family to go.  Years later, we are still selling wheat all over Utah and surrounding states.  We have sold wheat on KSL and other websites, but our best advertising comes from our satisfied customers telling their friends, family and neighbors.  We are  working through the challenges of selling and shipping to different parts of the country and we are trying our very hardest to get it there and still make it as affordable as possible for our customers.  We are exploring different packaging and methods of shipping in order to reach out to more people.  The pictures shown here and on our website were taken on Dave's smart phone, so there is no editing or filtering.  We live in a beautiful part of the country. We have been blessed beyond measure. 

Dave took this while my brothers were preparing the fields by our house.

This was taken just before harvest. When you buy from us we guaranty you are buying the most fresh wheat available.  Every year Dave sells all his remaining wheat  to a local mill and cleans out his silos.  He then fills them back up with this years wheat.  Check us out at www.davesfarms.com
