We (Jim and Crystal) took over the family farm in 2012. Currently on our 4th generation we have transitioned from the standard confinement system of our grandparents to a free ranging, grass fed, pasture based, multi-species endeavor focused on sustainable and regenerative agriculture. A system where the animal exists within the cycle of life rather than beside it. Our animals are not poked, prodded, injected, or poisoned (vaccinated) in order to simulate health or promote growth....just amazing animals raised in a simple way!

Crystal's soap making obsession began a number of years ago as an extension of her desire to utilize all of the products produced here on the farm. By rendering her own tallow and lard she is able to create the highest quality soaps and skin care items available! Utilizing all natural essential oils, chemical free fats, and naturally occurring clays for colorants she has crafted cleansing perfection! Realizing that our skin is our largest organ, it should be treated with the same care and commitment we put into the rest of our bodies!

Claire began her painting career as a homeschooled art student. She quickly became fascinated with the number of different ways she could express herself through paint and canvas. Her creations have been inspired by her on-farm experiences and her inborn curiosity and exuberance for life. Claire continues to pick asparagus at a friends farm in the early summers, but her dedication and focus have made a decided shift to the creative side of life!

Vivian is a creative creature. She began her Styling adventure in college, moved to a hands-on 2 year cosmetology internship and is now a licensed cosmetologist with years of experience. A college graduate with an associates degree in children's education; Vivian is now interning and working towards her Mortician's license. She has returned to college and is following her passion. She is also producing her own handcrafted hair combs, necklaces and earrings which are available in our Farm Store.

Renae began her flower business as an offshoot of the farm just this past summer, 2021. An experiment that turned into an obsession, that morphed into a career. Renae is now making and selling flower bouquets, cut flowers by the stem, and quite a few other unique seasonal arrangements. (Quite a bit different than milking cows at 4 am and picking asparagus in the driving rain!!! Yup, that's where it all began, and she is still smiling!)
