Royer Farm Fresh Meat Beef, Lamb and Pork

At Royer Farm Fresh Beef, Lamb and Pork, Scott and Nikki Royer have made it their life's work to  raise farm grown meats in a healthful and natural environment.  Providing delicious food for you and your family (and their family, too!) is their full-time business and passion.  Scott and Nikki run the business on a Vermillion County farm just outside of Clinton, Indiana, that has been in the family since 1874. When not working on the farm, Scott and Nikki are busy parents of twin boys and are active members of the community.
 
Answering questions about the farm and helping you understand different meat cuts, cooking options, and recipes is one of the most enjoyable things Scott and Nikki do.  They have a 100% satisfaction guarantee.  If you are not pleased with your purchase, let them know.  They will refund your money and commit to do better next time.
