Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandfathers, and father figures whose love, guidance, and example continue to shape us long after they’re gone. 💚Today, we’re honoring the memories of two very special men who helped shape the Pat’s Pastured family.
The first photo is Pat with his father, Frank, and his grandmother, Margaret (who lived to be 103!). Frank spent his career as a teacher, and his influence can still be felt every day. His curiosity, patience, and passion for helping others learn live on through Pat—whether he’s teaching regenerative farming practices, sharing knowledge with customers, mentoring team members, or passing lessons on to Marin and Cavan.
Next up is Kelly’s dad, Bill Barr, with Kelly, Marin, and Cavan. Bill was the kind of person who was always there when you needed him. From painting apartments and tackling projects to showing up for games, recitals, turkey distribution days, and countless moments in between, his generosity and loyalty never wavered. His spirit lives on in the way Kelly cares for others, builds community, and shows up for her family and the farm every single day.
While we miss them both dearly, we’re grateful for the values they instilled, the memories they gave us, and the countless ways their legacies continue through their children, grandchildren, and the community around them.
Today, we celebrate Frank, Bill, and all the fathers and grandfathers whose love continues to guide us.
