Know Your Farmer!
Family is what we are all about. Being the 5th generation to own and operate this farm comes with all kinds of opportunities as well as challanges, but the top priority is raising the 6th generation of children in a lifestyle that can be passed on to their children. Teaching them to be stewards of the land and caretakers of the animals is something that is instilled from a young age.
The 4th generation, Ralph and Lola Sayer, raised 5 children on the farm; Shannon, Kristi, Joseph, Eric & Jennifer.
Lola has always been the backbone of this farm. She and her late husband faced many hardships to keep the dairy farm running over the years, but were never afraid to put their minds to work to keep the pumps on, the cows milked and the kids raised right.
Ralph hauled beef and cull cows for local farms over the years as well as ran equipment and kept the marketing of milk and beef as diverse as he could.
Lola did much of the milking and tending the cows, raising the kids and managing the finances. When it was all said and done, they made a great team even thru the volatility of ever changing markets.
Knowing where your food comes from is so important. And buying direct from a farm is often CHEAPER than you think!
