BUY IT HERE:  Emu Meat and Emu Products can be purchased at the above farm location. Farm Tours and all sales are by appointment.
PRODUCER PROFILE: Echoes directly from the Australian Outback can be heard on a small farm located in the SE corner of Green County about 7 miles SW of Brodhead, Wisconsin. The booming and grunting of the emus creates an eerie and unusual sound. Nestled on a quiet country road, far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Sugar Maple Emu Farm is home to over 50 emus. Owned and operated since 1995 by Michael & Joylene Reavis, Sugar Maple Emu Farm is an egg to retail business. On this 10 acres farm emus are bred, hatched and raised for processing. Visitors are welcomed for a 1 hour tour of the emu farm. Farm Tours are given by appointment only from May through September. More information can be found on their website under EVENTS.

Emu Meat has been proven, through USDA sponsored research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, to be high in nutrition while being low in unwanted fats. Emu Meat is a dark, red meat that is very mild flavored, much like beef. Emu Meat from Sugar Maple Emu Farm is processed from emus that are naturally raised with NO ADDED antibiotics, growth hormones or animal by-products.

Emu fat is a valuable co-product of emu meat. It is the fat from the emu that is rendered and refined into Emu Oil. Emu Oil contains essential fatty acids, the Omegas 3, 6 & 9. This is where Emu Oil gets its anti-inflammatory properties. Emu Oil is added to many products to enhance their uses. It moisturizes and nourishes the skin while penetrating deeply into the tissue to carry its essential fatty acids deep into the lower levels of the skin, the muscles, the ligaments and joints.

The large, dark green Emu Eggs, with layers of green, turquoise and white in its shell, contain not only an edible egg, but, the shells lend themselves to the creation of beautiful art work.
PRODUCTS: Lean, red meat (emu fillets, ground emu, emu summer sausage, emu brats and emu ring bologna), emu oil products, emu feathers, emu leather products, edible emu eggs and egg shells.
