Hello, and welcome!
Our farming journey began several years ago while Kendal was still working an office job away from home. When the company he was working for moved to another state, he took the leap to focus on dairying here at the farm. This has been greatly fulfilling for our whole family.
We have four children under the age of 9, and when you come to pick up milk each week, you will likely see one or all of them wrangling kittens, chasing chickens, making a bouquet, or trying to catch a guinea fowl.
Kendal (the milkman!) enjoys the daily ritual and routine of milking, but his favorite part of selling milk is, by far, the fantastic mix of customers. We love to hear about your families, your careers, and what you have going on in your lives. We are often in awe of the projects and goals you accomplish. It always broadens our horizons, and we truly consider it a privilege to meet the incredible people living around us here in North Idaho. It brings us satisfaction to know that we are offering wholesome products straight from the source, and we are thankful that others see the value in what we produce here at the farm.
Rachel (the flower lady!) could talk your ear off about dahlias & the rest of her flower field! She has always enjoyed arranging, but only within the last 5 years has discovered a love for the growing aspect of things. Mothering is her main focus in this season of life, but it turns out that growing flowers and raising babies can go together quite nicely.
One of our primary goals for the farm is to maintain a local community of people who can lean on each other in the ways that we hear people used to do in the Great Depression. Need a cup of sugar? Ask us! If we don't have it, maybe we know someone who does. Maybe we can trade some milled wood for your help on a project we are building. Or maybe we can just take a little time to chat.
Connecting with you and connecting you with each other is rewarding. For all the struggle and division out there, we think there is plenty of room for some fellowship. Thank you for trusting and supporting us.
