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 crop and livestock operations are Dan’s chief responsibilities. Diane is our secretary, marketing director, farm store manager, and operates our cottage bakery.

Elizabeth Hesterberg - Livestock Operations

Elizabeth can often be found in the barn or pastures caring for our beef cattle and tending chickens. She is our farm’s beef herdsman, raises poultry on pasture for both meat and eggs. She owns and operated Flowered Cow Dairy which sells chicken and eggs through our farm store.
