Ladybird Ln: Our Farm

I am proud to be an American Farmer! My family raises around 60,000 Turkeys per year! In addition, we dry farm wheat.

We take pride in taking care of our turkeys, I enjoy watching the turkeys grow from small baby chicks to big tom turkeys. It is hard work, but it makes me appreciate so much more where are food comes from and the sacrifice and hardwork that it takes to enjoy the food we eat.

My husband is a sixth generation American farmer, he is third generation turkey farmer! We feel so blessed to raise our children with an agricultural background, like the generations before us.

Even though things have changed around the farm in the last 70 years, we hope to instill the same values of integrity, hard work, and dedication of the generations before us. This is my husbands grandfather, and my father in law, and his brother! I think this picture is so tender.

This is my father in law a little older, with his dad and siblings. There have been generations of hardwork and fun at the farm!

This is one of my favorite pictures of my husband and sister in law at the farm!

This is my husband and his siblings plus a cousin! Little kids, and big kids, love the baby turkeys!

Our kids get so excited to help with the baby turkeys! They love the farm.

And I am so happy they have the opportunity... and I am not just saying it, my kids do LOVE the farm, and so do I.

I love the values my kids learn, the good nature fun we have, and yes I even love the turkeys.... most days! It is a lot of hard work, but it is worth it! The goal at our farm is to improve our turkey and farm operation through technology and research, provide quality care of our turkeys, and maintain the values and principles of the generations before us.

Our farm is part of a cooperative of family turkey farmers, that make up Moroni Feed Company. Our turkeys are labeled under the Norbest brand.

I want to thank you and your family for keeping the American Farm Family alive! I love it! My son is part of the American Agriculture and I am so proud of him. He went back to it when he left the Marine Corps. His dream is to own a farm of his own so that he can pass it on to his children.

Again, thank you!
