Ballerina Farms

Ballerina Farm is a family farm in the mountain valley of Kamas, Utah, run by Hannah and Daniel Neeleman. It began with a small herd and a patch of land and now sells Farmer Protein powder, Farmer Hydrate electrolyte blends, Bone Broth Hot Cocoa, beef and pork boxes, air-dried jerky and handmade sourdough baked goods. The name came from Hannah's brother, a nod to her years as a Juilliard-trained ballerina before the family took up farming.
