In 1988, Neil McKown, an Ohio attorney, discreetly purchased 155 acres of land that was previously neglected and overgrown. Unbeknownst to his wife Pamela, McKown's interest in farming was driven by a desire to escape the pressures of his legal career and immerse himself in the outdoors. The initial appearance of the property was far from promising, but the McKown family decided to embark on a journey of transformation.
Over the years, they have expanded their operation from the initial 155 acres to nearly 500 acres, incorporating conservation practices and diversified agricultural methods.
