Emerald Acres just outside of Janesville can trace its roots back to 1914 when Brad Mair's grandparents starting farming in shares with the original land owners.  Brad says his grandparents met, after immigrating to the United States, in Chicago and headed north.

Initially the farm consisted of 160 acres, but grew to 240 in the mid-50's.

Just like many farms of the time, the Mair's had a diversified operation with poultry, dairy and hogs, as well as field crops.

Today, Brad Mair is focused on providing top quality pork and beef to about 140 customers, and beginning to consider farm-to-table experiences.  His sons are active in helping move the business model along.
