Who we are

Emily Spoelman is a mother of 2 young boys, works full time as a nurse, and enjoys adventures. Emily has always wanted to own chickens and horses. It all started in NE Grand Rapids with chickens in the basement.

Andrew is a father of 1 young boy and stepfather to another, works as needed and spends the rest of his time on the farm taking care of the animals, fixing and building the facilities. Andrew grew up with farm genes in the dairy business. 

Together we are a strong tight-nit family that strives to grow, teach, and learn how a little hard work goes a long way.
