We are a faith-centered, family-run farm located just 6 miles southeast of Winterset, Iowa. When we purchased our property in the spring of 2021, our dream was to create a Whitetail paradise—a habitat designed for all wildlife, with deer as the central focus of this vision.
It was a personal quest that quickly grew into something much bigger than we had imagined. Within just a few months, it became clear that this property held far more potential than we initially realized. We felt called down a new path, one that led us to begin thoughtfully planning and planting for something greater.
By 2024, we had planted 93 fruit trees, including five varieties of apple, two types of peaches, as well as pears and plums. Soon after, honeybees became part of our journey—not only to boost the productivity of our fruit trees and food plots but as another step we felt called to take. In their first year, our bees produced over 8 gallons of honey, a blessing we couldn’t have anticipated!
Looking ahead to 2025, we’re excited to expand even further with more hives, additional fruit trees, and our very first lavender planting. Through it all, we give all the credit to God. His guidance and provision have grown this passion within us, and continually leads us toward new opportunities. While we may not see the full picture yet, we trust in His plan and look forward to what’s to come.
