Welcome to Creek's Bend Family Farm
Located in Overton, Nebraska
THE FARM
We are located just north of Overton, Nebraska or 25 miles west of Kearney. Situated on just over 10 acres, the farm is vast and changes throughout the season. The farm currently consists of cut flowers, vegetables, raspberries, apples and fall favorites! We also offer fresh free-range chicken eggs and heritage pork.
We will be opening a store on the farm in 2025 so you can stop in and buy all of your in-season favorites! We will also present at several local area farmers markets.
Cut Flower Farm
This year at the farm we are seeding thousands of flowers with over 100 varieties and colors to make your bouquet dreams come true! We will have different flowers blooming all season long. You can experience the joy of making your own bouquet at the farm at one of our on-farm cut-flower U-Pick and design classes. Pre-made bouquets are offered at the market each week, flower arrangements can be ordered at anytime on our website. On-farm pick-up is available 5-days a week, deliveries to Kearney and Lexington (and the greater area) are offered at least twice a week. BOUQUET BAR If you would like to add a fun activity to your next summer event, please contact us about adding a bouquet bar! We will bring buckets of flowers and supplies for your guests to create their own unique bouquets to take home! This will be on a limited basis so contact us early!
Market Garden
The market garden is grown with our love and care for the land. We take every opportunity to grow the best quality produce with the least amount of intervention possible. We spend our days in the dirt and want our families to have access to healthy produce. We rely on natural products such as Neem Oil, netting and beneficial insects to help with our pest pressures.
A majority of our farm is planted with specialty equipment into a ground cover to minimize weeds, increase the quality of the produce and improve your harvest experience. The garden is watered with a drip irrigation system to efficiently utilize our water resources, reduce disease pressure and increase produce quality.
Free-Range Chicken Eggs
We've been raising chickens for over a decade and are excited to share our free-range chicken eggs with you. Not only are our ladies raised on pasture, they are completely free-range. Free range hens produce healthier eggs than the rest. Our eggs from free-range hens typically contain: ⅓ less cholesterol, ¼ less saturated fat, ⅔ more vitamin A, 2 times more omega-3, 3 times more vitamin E, 7 times more beta-carotene. Pasture raised eggs are shown to have as much as 200% more protein than your traditional store bought eggs.
Our chickens have access to feed as needed, especially in the winter months but a majority of their diet is foraged from the ground. Plus they get the added perks of garden scraps :)
Our ladies lay a beautiful assortment of colors ranging from dark brown, light brown, speckled and green in sizes varying from medium to jumbo. We are currently offering eggs by the dozen at the farm and at the Farmers Market. We are continuing to grow our flock so will continue to expand our offering of free-range eggs going into the 2025 season.
Fall Market
Fall is one of our favorite seasons here at the farm. We will have a huge assortment of carving, specialty, giant and pie pumpkins available. We will also have loads of squash and decorative gourds. All of our pumpkins are grown in ground cover with large rows to make accessing your fall favorites more enjoyable. No more walking through fields of pumpkin vines!
DELIVERY / PICKUP SERVICE
If picking pumpkins is not your thing but you still love the fall spirit, we will be offering a porch delivery and pickup service from the farm. You will get pick of the patch quality pumpkins washed and delivered to your house by the beginning of October. We will be back on the first week of November to pick up the pumpkins, so you don't have to hassle with them! Don't worry the pumpkins are either taken to our compost pile or fed as a treat to our pasture pigs/chickens! This is also a great solution for businesses. We will start delivery package sales this summer!
Heritage Breed Pastured Pork
Our heritage bred pastured pork started as a passion to feed our family top quality meat. Over the years our family and friends enjoyed having access to heritage pork, so we have continued to increase the number of pigs we raise for meat. Our pig herd is a unique breed called an Idaho Pasture Pig which is 1/3 Berkshire, 1/3 Duroc and 1/3 Kune Kune. The crossing gives the pigs the stature and upturned nose (Kune Kune) to allow them to be able to graze the pasture while providing an unmatched meat quality and marbling (Berkshire and Duroc).
The pigs are on grass their entire life, we do provide fresh grain to the pigs to supplement the foraging especially over winter.
The pork is processed and packaged custom for us in an USDA inspected facility. Pork is available throughout the year.
