We are husband and wife team Eric and Katie. Neither of us grew up on a farm, but we both spent lots of time on our grandparents’ farms as kids and fell in love with farming as a lifestyle. We aim to do it in a way that is beneficial and sustainable both for us and for the land.
Katie now works full time on the farm. She handles most of the farm’s day-to-day operations. Becoming a full-time farmer has been a lifelong calling and she’s enjoying being fully immersed in the challenges of getting the farm business off the ground.
Eric works full time and spends A LOT of his time off working on the bigger jobs on the farm like designing, building, rehabbing and expanding our farm buildings. He also is the farm’s head mechanic and keeps all of our equipment running. He does most of the tractor work and is teaching Katie the ropes!
“Farmers farm for the love of farming. They love to watch and nurture the growth of plants. They love to live in the presence of animals. They love to work outdoors. They love the weather, maybe even when it is making them miserable. They love to live where they work and work where they live.”
Wendell Berry
