🌱 Growing the Next Generation of Our Farm 🌱
Farming has always been about caring for what has been entrusted to us- raising animals, tending the land, growing good food, and, perhaps most importantly, nurturing the next generation. We’re grateful to see that same spirit taking root in our own family as our farm slowly begins a new chapter.
Starting early this year KBF began the slow start to the next phase of our farm. Our farm has always been family-owned and operated. We started in 1992 by bringing abandoned fields back to life, first planting Christmas trees and later growing vegetables. Those early crops became the foundation of the farm and the beginning of a story that continues today.
It feels especially meaningful to see our daughter, Kellie, and her husband, Heath, gradually stepping into more of the day-to-day business and taking on a larger role in shaping the farm’s future.
At the same time, our son, Timothy, has taken an interest in returning to where it all began: growing vegetables and bringing new energy, ideas, and enthusiasm to the land and the crops that started our farm’s journey.
Succession doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a slow and intentional transition filled with learning, hard work, conversations, challenges, and plenty of memories along the way. But watching the next generation find their own place in the farm and seeing them bring their own strengths and ideas to it, is something we are incredibly proud of.
The farm may be changing hands little by little, but its heart remains the same: family, hard work, good food, caring for the animals and the land, and a deep connection to the farm we’ve built together.
We’re excited to see where this next chapter takes us and, most of all, to watch the next generation grow right alongside the farm. ❤️🌱
