OUR STORY

Barry and Marion embarked on their ranching journey in 1982, with their eldest child just a year old. Upon acquiring the ranch, they were greeted with root bound land, neglected log buildings, and an absence of animals. Despite the challenges, they dedicated themselves to nurturing both their growing family and the land they called home. As they worked tirelessly to transform the ranch into a thriving homestead, Barry often found himself working off ranch during weekdays and coming home on weekends to the demands of ranch life, while Marion stayed and managed their four children, the household, as well as the stock chores. With a commitment to education and self-reliance, they chose to homeschool their children, instilling in them independence and a deep appreciation for the ranching way of life. Nestled 1.5 hours drive away from the nearest town, their ranch became not just a home, but a sanctuary where they raised their family amidst the beauty and challenges of rural life.
