A family tradition for 3 generations.

​

We manage 40 acres of native prairie and 20 acres of diversified agroforest. This came to be in 2012 when Daniel's father put those acres in a Federal Wildlife Easement, protecting them from Big Ag forever. This means it can never be tilled again. The prairie is a site to behold in the Summer! There are over 75 different forbs and grasses that have been re-established. 

​

Daniel's grandfather put part of his farm in the same sort of easement many decades ago and the government still harvests seeds from that farm to seed prairie re-establishment in central Minnesota.

​

We shall continue the family tradition of protecting and preserving nature to the best of our abilities for the rest of our lives. May it continue long after we are gone.
