For many years, people around town simply knew our farm as “Grace and Rich’s place.” Today would have been my Grandpa Richard’s 99th birthday. Although we lost him far too soon many years ago, his presence is still felt here every single day.
From the tractors he once drove to the tools he worked so hard with, pieces of him still live on throughout this farm. We often think about how proud he would be to see the love, growth, and dedication that has been poured back into this place over the years.
His son, Mark, especially carried that legacy forward when he took over the farm, putting his whole heart into continuing what Grandpa and Grandma built together. Because of that love and hard work, four generations later, the farm is still alive and growing.
Happy 99th Birthday, Grandpa. We hope you’re looking down on us proudly every step of the way. ❤️
