About Your Hosts:
Sarah & Marcus Riedner are first generation farmers. They purchased the farm in 2013, and seven years ago began the task of changing the farm over from commercial grain to pasture & livestock. Pastured laying hens, free-range ducks, grass-fed steers, and heritage breed KuneKune pigs now call the farm home. They custom graze cattle each year from June to October. The Riedner family love to share their story and their farm with visitors, understanding the desire to be more connected to your food & more conscious of where it comes from.
