~ Our Family ...

Roger farms full time feeding approximately 400 head of Beef cattle and crops the land with pasture, corn, beans & wheat. Roger’s love of what he does is apparent in the care and attention he gives to the sustainability of this farm. As for myself, I run the Centre, play in the gardens and am always looking for a new adventure. Our children Blair and his wife Jessica who life in the little village of St Helens (which is about 10 minutes from here) and Stephanie with her partner Nick are always embarking on many new adventures which I am sure will be filled with a lifetime of joy, challenges & successes.
