Angela Guentzel
Farmer, wife and step-mom
Our family farm is a 6th generation farm, located only three miles from where our great-great,-great-grandparents settled nearly 150 years ago. We are still farming some of the same soil our ancestors farmed more than a century ago. We adopt the best equipment, farming practices and modern technologies to grow our crops sustainably while maintaining the values and work ethic of our predecessors.
Do you farm with family?
My dad, my brother, and myself all work full-time on the farm. My husband, mom, and sister-in-law also help out when needed. We are very proud and humbled by the fact that Guentzel Family Farms is a 6th generation family farm.
What are your hobbies?
Running, Biking, Arts and Crafts, Travel, Reading, Hiking, Skiing
Why is sharing information about agriculture and farming important to you?
Our intent is to promote agriculture while informing others about what it means to be a farmer in modern times. Just because farms don’t look like “Grandpa’s farm” anymore doesn’t mean that they are a factory farms. We are innovative farmers who use the latest in farm technology and equipment, and we care about being good stewards of the land.
Tell us a quick story from the farm.
Our goal is to continue to grow in a sustainable fashion while preserving family tradition. With today’s global demands we are asked to do more with less. To meet these demands we utilize the best equipment, farming practices, and modern technology. We strive to maintain the values, work ethic, and nostalgia of a 6th generation family farm while doing so.
