The Team

The Grice family has been farming in Oceana County, Michigan, for more than 30 years. Our team is committed to healthy, productive, and sustainable farming. We achieve this by thoughtfully integrating modern technology with time-honored techniques, striving to deliver a quality product to our customers.

Heritage Farming Enterprises operates more than 4,500 acres, split between organic and conventional production. We grow a wide range of specialty crops, including asparagus, black beans, green beans, potatoes, pumpkins, and squash, which are marketed across the United States. Our organic and conventional grains serve producers across the country.

Our USDA Certified Organic feed mill supports organic livestock and poultry producers with high-quality, compliant feed. This completely integrated system from field to finished feed allows us to maintain traceability, consistency, and supply reliability.

Fred has built a dynamic team of dedicated professionals who share a common mission: producing nutritious, responsibly sourced products for both people and animals while protecting the land for future generations.
