Evan hails from a long list Gunthorps who've made a go of diversified crop and livestock operations in northeast Indiana and south-central Michigan. Of particular note, he's at least the fifth generation to raise pigs on pasture. As is expected of a farm kid, he was involved, frequently begrudgingly, in all aspects of the operation but has held a focus on managing the chicken brooder, followed by the processing plant, and most recently the sheep flock. On their farm in Lagrange, Indiana, he, with his parents Greg and Lei and about 15 employees, raise pigs, sheep, and turkeys, operate an on-farm USDA inspected processing plant, and sell to individuals, retailers, and chefs across the eastern US.
