RED OAK, Iowa – U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Chair of the Senate Small Business Committee, today announced her Small Business of the Week: Acorn Bluff Farms of Louisa County. Throughout the 119th Congress, Chair Ernst plans to recognize a small business in every one of Iowa’s 99 counties.

“Since 2016, Acorn Bluff Farms has proven they have the chops to deliver premium pork products directly to folks across Iowa,” said Chair Ernst. “The Todd brothers are truly bringing home the bacon with their signature Mangalitsa pork, which continues to earn high praise for its exceptional quality.”

In 2016, Seth Todd – who was serving active duty in the Marine Corps – and his brother, Kenan, established Acorn Bluff Farms on a 200-year-old homestead farm in Columbus Junction. The brothers raise Mangalitsa pigs – a prized breed known for their rich fattiness and complex flavor profile, earningtheir title, the Kobe of pork. From farmers markets to an online storefront managed by their brother, Jared, Acorn Bluff Farms offers boar sausage, chorizo, bacon, and pork chops, in addition to variety boxes and sampler packs. The family-run and veteran-owned operation continues to grow by delivering high-quality, locally raised pork across Iowa and the nation.

Stay tuned as Chair Ernst recognizes more Iowa small businesses across the state with her Small Business of the Week award.
