Our story
The people behind the place
Two kitchens.
One shared story.
Some places make more sense once you meet the people who cook there. Medicine Bow Farms is one of them.
Two Feathers looks after the smokehouse, the hot dogs and the pies. Qin brings the Chinese side of the menu. Together, they have built a place where pork ribs and steamed bao belong on the same counter.
The farm reached its twenty-fifth year in 2026. Two Feathers and Qin met in China more than three decades ago. Their cooking carries those years, and the people who taught them, into everything this place has become.
Read how it began
In the owner’s words
A place built
on honesty.
“Always remember to be honest with people and be fair to people.”Two Feathers
The name, and the lesson behind it
Two Feathers traces the name Medicine Bow to a childhood lesson from his grandfather about telling the truth. The words that stayed with him were “take your medicine.”
The principle he carries into this place is simple: be honest, and be fair to people. That is the part of the story he comes back to when he explains the name.
A kitchen learned from family
“My grandmother taught me to cook. My grandfather taught me to cook. All the elders on the reservation taught me how to cook.”
For Two Feathers, cooking began with family and the people around him. The smokehouse, dogs and pies are his side of the menu today.
A meeting in China, a life together
Two Feathers met Qin in China. They fell in love and built a life together—a story he described in 2026 as stretching back 35 years.
Today, her steamed bao, noodles and Chinese dishes sit alongside his smokehouse cooking. You do not have to choose one story over the other to eat here.
Twenty-five years of the farm
“We started the farm 25 years ago,” the owner wrote in September 2026. Apples and vegetables are part of the farm’s identity; the kitchen is where visitors get to know the people behind it.
Stop in for a meal, ask what is cooking, and leave room for the pie counter.
A growing tradition
Better
together.
Corn, beans and squash: three crops with different roles in a shared planting.
Three different plants, each with something to contribute. Explore this planting tradition: a reminder of how much care and cooperation can bring to the table.
A place to climb
The corn grows upward, giving climbing beans a living support.
A partnership below ground
Beans partner with soil bacteria that fix nitrogen, contributing to the planting’s cycle of soil fertility.
A canopy close to the soil
Broad squash leaves shade the ground, helping limit weeds and moisture loss.
Qin’s kitchen
Another story.
The same table.
Steamed bao, pork Shandong noodles and a Chinese kitchen with Qin’s name on the menu.
Her cooking is one half of what makes this place its own. Sweet and sour chicken, peanut chicken and tomato beef join the bao and noodles, with jasmine rice alongside the chicken and beef dishes.
