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, and Saturday Market manager.

Elizabeth Hesterberg - Livestock Operations

Elizabeth, has been a HUGE part of our farming operation for many years.

Over the years she has managed the beef herd and raised chickens for meat and eggs. For nearly two years she ran a raw milk dairy on the farm called Flowered Cow Dairy which she closed in January of 2025.

In February of 2026, she moved to Clark, Missouri to begin a one year internship with Green Pastures Farm. This is a wonderful opportunity for her to expand her grazing knowledge with rancher and grazing expert, Greg Judy. The farm's grazing operation includes South Poll cows, cow/calf pairs, bulls, stockers and St. Croix hair sheep.
