OUR FAMILY
One of the most unexpected joys we’ve found through our farming journey is the deep bond that comes from working together as a family. Whether we’re facing rain, extreme heat, or the occasional runaway animal, we know we can count on each other. Farming has drawn us closer in ways we never could have imagined, and for that, we’re truly grateful!

RALPH AND TRACEY
Ralph runs a small business called Enrollment Management Services in Madeira, Ohio, and is a master problem-solver. He once created a floating sling and cast to help our lamb, Eleanor, heal her broken leg. Always looking for ways to make the farm more efficient, Ralph jumps into every project with enthusiasm. When there’s a break between big tasks, you’ll often find him with a chainsaw or axe, replenishing our firewood stack.
Tracey is the heart of the farm—the driving force behind everything we do. Her vision brought this place to life. The lambs come running at the sound of her voice, and she chats with the pigs as they beg for their favorite treats. Tracey is our “yes-girl”—always finding room in her heart to care for others and keep the farm thriving.
TAYLOR AND MEGAN
Taylor, the oldest of the bunch, works at Enrollment Management Services. He’s found a great balance between work and play—especially when it comes to pickleball. He and his wife Megan have been married for ten years and are proud parents to four children: May, Dixie, Forrest, and Ivy. Though they live about 30 minutes from the farm, they join us every Sunday for family fun. Their kids are fantastic helpers around the farm, and they especially love feeding the animals and swimming in the pool all summer long.
BETH AND BOB
Beth and her husband Bob are finally back in Madeira after several years of living in Hawaii and Utah. They have six children: Stella, Max, Lucy, Angus, Summer, and Tank. They’re a fun-loving family who always make the most of their time at the farm. From hunting for frogs and crawdads to river walks and riding horses, they bring plenty of energy and enthusiasm to our crew! We’re excited for Beth to have a more active role on our planning team.
BRENT AND MADISON
Brent and Madison were married in Hawaii in 2024! Brent works on the farm full-time, making sure all the day-to-day chores are completed and taking full responsibility for our maple syrup program. Whether it’s grubbing in the woods, mending fences, or sorting sheep, Brent is always hard at work, keeping everything running smoothly. We couldn’t run the farm without him! Madison works full time for Ultraceuticals and we love not only her happy personality, but her helpful skincare advice.
JAKE AND LYNNETTE
Jake and Lynnette reside at the farm with their four children: June, Wesley, Eden, and Brynn. And, of course, their dog Joey! After graduating from Brigham Young University, they relocated to Cincinnati for Jake to attend medical school. He is now a second year resident specializing in Family Medicine. Lynnette oversees everything related to flowers, from starting seeds and planting bulbs to selling and delivering flower subscriptions. She also manages the website and handles emails. The kids love helping out by feeding the animals, cuddling the kittens, collecting maple sap, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.
AARON AND EMILY
Aaron and Emily have lived in Madeira for the last 5 years. They are expecting their first baby (a girl!) in May of 2026. They both love tending to the garden, experimenting with new family recipes, and crafting wooden bowls on the lathe. Emily is very active in volunteering around the city of Cincinnati, but always makes time with helping us host our corporate events and creating a mental wellness program.
BEN
Ben is crazy talented and super handy. He can build anything, like a skate ramp in the woods! He built our greenhouse that is still in use, all of the animal run-outs that are conveniently on sleds, and he started the work on our pirate ship! He currently works for a locally owned remodeling company as well as investing in several other side projects and businesses of his own. His girlfriend Haley recently graduated from the University of Cincinnati and entered the corporate world!
BRIDGER
Bridger is so talented and built a rock climbing wall in the barn. The routes he comes up with our creative and tricky, but he even added some for the little kids around the farm. Bridger and Ben work on their business, Pro Haul, together! He also makes DELICIOUS beef jerky (Frank’s Big Time which you can buy for local pick up!) with his secret recipe he’s been working on for the past few years!
LILLIE
Lillie is our caboose! We adore her sweet and fun spirit. She plays and works hard! We love watching her play high school soccer. She’s 15 years old and has the time of her life with cousins and friends at the farm. She loves learning how to do backflips into the pool, riding the four wheeler, and tending to and riding the horses. We love her fun personality and her no-complaints attitude.
