Faribault, MN

5th generation farmer, wife and mother

I own and operate a diversified farm operation alongside my husband and 2 children. Together we raise corn, soybeans, hay, beef, registered Suffolk sheep, honey bees, cut flowers and pumpkins. We directly sell our beef, lamb, honey, flowers and pumpkins through our website, farmers markets and roadside stands. Fun fact -both my husband and I work full time jobs in agriculture in addition to farming!

I love connecting others to our farm and providing food for our community!

My husband and I run our farm together.

Baking, Writing, Photography, Blogging, Reading, Hiking

I want to share that we are still family farms that truly care about the product we raise. We care about what our customers choose because it affects our livelihood, and we want to have conversations about how food is grown, and why advancements in technology and innovations are so important to our farm.

My husband and I continue to farm land that has been in my family for over a century now. I love that we are giving our children the opportunity to grow up the way we were raised, learning to care for the land and animals.
