Not only does Cody help maintain the land, but he helps clear brush, build fences and does other maintenance on the farm. He keeps the equipment up and running and is a driving force behind doing the farm’s hay baling. He is starting his own business for land management, New Horizon Earthworks LLC, and is great at keeping the place well kept.

Once a little girl doing chores, feeding calves and collecting eggs, Anika is now more on the customer service side. She sorts and keeps inventory of the beef once it is processed, as well as takes beef orders. Recently she has started beekeeping on the farm and harvesting her own honey. Through her small business, A’s Bees, she sells honey, bee products, and infused oils.

Everyday Zach checks on the animals and feeds minerals to the cattle and gathers the eggs from our chickens. He rides his four-wheeler around the farm to make sure everything is in order and makes sure the fences are intact. He is still involved in the local 4H Agriculture County Fair, preparing calves to show at the fair. This keeps the heifers we want to keep tame and used to us handling them from a young age.

In 2011, Scott and Tami purchased their first two Charolais cow/calf pairs and have grown their farm from there to what it is today. Their goal is to raise cattle in a healthy and natural way to provide the best quality meat, not only to feed their own family, but also to sell to their growing customer base. As their kids keep growing and taking on more responsibility, certain tasks have adapted over time. For instance, they used to have to wait for others who had baling equipment to come bale their hay, but now they have their own baling equipment and it is a whole family process. For Scott, farm work is a break from the busyness of the regular work routine. He enjoys jumping in the Jeep to ride around the property inspecting the condition of fields and checking on the animals. While Tami is not as involved in the day to day operations of the farm, she says it is her job to feed the farmers.
