Face of the Farm: Ground Up Ranch

We visited Ground Up Ranch in Russell Township, where owners Stephanie Perras‑Dakin and Tanner Dakin welcomed us and shared their passion for grass‑finished beef and regenerative practices.
Stephanie and Tanner began ranching Speckle Park beef — a Canadian breed — just two years ago. Today, they’re living their dream of rebuilding Stephanie’s family farm from the ground up. Fun fact: there are a few reasons why they named their ranch Ground Up Ranch with one being that it was their wedding song 🎶 Learn more about their story on their website. Thank you Stephanie and Tanner!

🌽 Face of the Farm 🌽
We headed down to Morewood area to one of Swiss Acres Farm’s fields to visit Rudy Schoeni as he geared up to plant his crop 🚜 Even with a full day ahead, Rudy took time to show us how he prepares and plants his corn crop — ideal moisture conditions, fertilizer, and why the seeds are pink 🤩 🌽

Thank you for having us Rudy! And thank you for supporting the Russell Fair!

This week’s episode of Face of the Farm takes us to the stunning Green Corners U‑Pick Tulip Farm in Russell where we met up with Manja Bastian, one of the owners, to check out the tulip field where they plant over 500,000 tulips🌷 🌷

Manja showed us the breathtaking tulip fields 💐 at 📍640 North Russell Rd., and trust us… they’re even more beautiful in person! You can walk the fields and take photos for your prom-posal, proposals, family pics, you name it! You can also pick your own tulips 💐
They offer weekday specials for seniors, family packages, and yes — you can even bring your pup 🐶 for the cutest photo ops.
Be sure to visit before the season ends ☀️
Thank you for having us, Manja 🙏🏻
