Our Team

Dan & Diane Hesterberg - Visionary Founders

We were married in 1989 and have been blessed with five children. In 1995 we began conventional row crop farming producing corn, soybeans, and wheat. The difference began in the late 90’s when we started converting some of our cropland into a natural pasture-based system. Soon we began raising chickens on pasture and next came beef cattle. Much has transpired since then as our passion and vision for producing healthy and nourishing food has grown.

Directing farm operations and caring for the livestock are Dan’s chief responsibilities. Diane is our secretary, marketing director, farm store manager, and operates our bakery.

Seth Hesterberg - Crop Production, Mechanic, Carpenter & Dog Breeder

Actively involved in crop production, he is committed to organic farming and has made himself an invaluable asset as we transition our tillable acres to organic production. Another of Seth’s favorite jobs is baling hay and he prides himself in producing top quality hay for our beef herd’s winter feed.

He also owns and operates GH Buildings and breeds Goldendoodle puppies. To find out more about his puppies visit Hesterberg Doodles.
