Holden Farms Snapshot
Our Commitments
Since 1876, Holden Farms has been committed to responsible family farming. While many things have changed since those early days at the Wall Street Farm, our approach to working with animals, the land and our people has not.
Holden Farms commits to:
Remaining true to our family-farming history and heritage.
Continuing our innovative and forward-thinking approach to farming and safe food production.
Being a responsible, engaged member of the communities in which we live and work.
Fostering a collaborative, teamwork-based company structure.
Continuing our legacy of leadership in the adoption of our industry’s best practices for animal welfare, environmental stewardship and safe food production.
These commitments are at the very heart of how we approach farming. Our leadership team and each and every one of our employees will keep these promises at the forefront of how we conduct our business daily.
It’s simple: We work hard, we work together, and we treat our people, animals and land with respect.” – Nick Holden

About Us
Welcome! Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Holden Farms.
The Holden family has been farming in Northfield, Minnesota, since our great-grandfather John Holden and his family moved here in 1876. From John Holden to our grandparents William and Mathilda Holden, to our parents Howard and Evelyn Holden, to our family today, one thing has remained constant: a dedication to hard work, honesty, and respect for the people, land and animals with which we work.
Today, we operate three turkey farms, own 55,000 sows and have nearly 200 contract partners throughout southern Minnesota and northern Iowa. And while we place tremendous value on our history and heritage, we’re also proud of of the innovative, forward-thinking company that we’ve become.
We’re guided by our own five commitments and – along with all our contract partners – proudly participate in the We Care responsible pork initiative. We constantly strive to take the best care of our animals while providing excellent career opportunities for our employees.
We invite you to learn more about Holden Farms, about our contract partner program and employment opportunities.
Sincerely,
Kent Holden and Barry Holden
