Todd Neczeparenko, Jefferson, OH
In 2005, the idea for Oink Moo Cluck Farms spawned from Tricia Woods’ inspiration to share with others her love of all natural, quality meats that she enjoyed on the farm growing up in Ashtabula Co. She recruited her brother Todd, a 3rd generation farmer, to help her realize her vision. For the past 4 years, they have worked in tandem to provide their tasty products. At OMC, we raise our animals on our small 100 acre family farm in a healthy and open environment while allowing them each to reach their natural maturity on a diet of natural grains and grasses and without the aid of hormones and antibiotics. Unlike many farms, we complete our own processing to ensure the most humane treatment of our animals and to maintain complete control of our quality and safety of the final product. Lastly, we take great pride in adding our personalized touch to several of our specialty meats. For example, we have come up with our own barbeque sauce that accompanies our ribs, pulled pork and shredded chicken. Also, we offer a variety of flavored jerky and beef sticks that help set OMC apart.
