Dutch Charley Company, Inc runs niche cattle and cropping operations and performs custom crop production.

Dutch Charley is owned by Ryan Jepsen and Kristine Jepsen, who spent 10 years building a regional grass-fed beef brand, growing sales from two beef to more than 4,000 annually.

​Our work connected us to innovators across the agricultural community and gave us the opportunity to move further into production with the sale of the retail beef brand in 2015.

​Where did the name come from?
Dutch Charley is a rural township and watershed in Cottonwood County, Minnesota, where founding partner Kristine Jepsen's family put down roots in the 1800s. ​Then as now, successful farming was a matter of adapting technologies and strategies as opportunities and times changed.
