Frequently Asked Questions

Lonely Lane Farms is a 165-acre farm in Oregon’s beautiful Willamette River Valley, run by third generation farmers Mike and Patty Kloft. We also manage 300 acres of grazing lands at the historic Mount Angel Abbey.

The name “Lonely Lane” comes from Mike’s mom, who moved to Mount Angel from the big city of Woodburn, and determined it was lonely out on the farm. When the rural route changed, Mike’s parents were given the chance to name the new road, and Mike’s mom called it Lonely Lane.

Right here! It’s rare for a family farm, but we do all of our own processing on site in our own USDA-inspected facility.

We’ve chosen not to outsource our meat processing because we want to maintain complete control over its quality. (No meat mixing, unnecessary fillers, or allergen contamination.) Because we process everything ourselves, we know exactly where the meat came from, what’s in it, and what’s NOT. We always get a product that meets our exceptionally high standards.

For us, “allergen-free” means that our meat products are always completely free of the Big 8 allergens: eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat. Owner Mike Kloft is allergic to gluten, dairy, and peanuts, so our products have always been free of these allergens. (And as proof, our family definitely eats our farm’s meat!)

We also make recipes for people with other dietary sensitivities, such as allergies to capsicums and alliums, as well as other dietary/health needs (such as low- or no-sugar). If you have any questions about our allergen practices, please contact us.

Yes! However, we only sell our products through personally vetted local stores across the Willamette Valley — no big-box grocery chains for us. Check out our locations for the latest information on our wholesale partners and where to buy grass-fed meats from Lonely Lane Farms.

We also offer home delivery in the Corvallis, Salem, Beaverton, Portland areas, other locations along our route. And you can shop online here.

Nope. We’ve always cared for our animals to the highest standards, and we use sustainable farming practices. That means no hormones, no antibiotics, and open environments with plenty of space to graze.

Our products also contain exactly what you’d think they would based on their name: pork, beef, lamb, or other meat with no questionable filler ingredients. Even our sausages and deli meats!

Yes! Email patty @ lonelylanefarms.com to get your home address added to our shipping list.

We know how important it is to have sausages, deli meats, and jerky that everyone in the family can enjoy. Especially for homes dealing with food intolerances.

All of Lonely Lane Farms’ grass-fed meat offerings are dairy free, gluten free, soy free, and sesame free. We hand-mix every batch of seasonings ourselves so you always know exactly what’s in your food. Each order can be tailored to your family’s needs, whether you’re stocking the freezer or looking for easy weeknight options.

Yes! Our sausages are gluten free, and so are all of our other products.

We mix our seasoning blends in-house and do not use gluten or gluten-containing ingredients in our USDA-inspected, on-farm processing facility. Because we control both the ingredients and the processing, we can ensure our products remain gluten free from start to finish.

Many of our customers choose our products because they are looking to avoid gluten while still enjoying high-quality sausages, bacon, deli meats, and other farm-raised meats.

Grass-fed and grass-finished means our cattle eat grasses and forages for their entire lives. Unlike conventionally raised cattle, they are never transitioned to a grain-based finishing ration before harvest.

Our cattle have access to pasture year-round and are supplemented with forages such as alfalfa hay and silage when needed. This forage-based diet allows us to produce beef that is 100% grass-fed and grass-finished from start to finish.

If you’re shopping with one of our retail partners, they have the option to bring in fresh product each week.

If you see us at the Beaverton Farmers Market or order through our home delivery, your meat will be frozen. We flash freeze everything right after processing to lock in quality and give you a little more flexibility at home.

Whether it’s fresh or frozen, it’s the same product.

Just handled a bit differently depending on where you find your Lonely Lane Farms meats.
