Tom is the 3rd generation to milk in the barn that was built in 1973. When Tom and Angie’s son, Josh, joined the operation, the parlor was upgraded from a double-three single stall to the current double-eight parabone.

Q: What is the best piece of advice you’ve been given?

A: Angie - “When I marred my dairy farmer, I was a former city kid and had no agriculture background. I was told by a fellow church member, a woman who I felt was my mentor, to always do what you can to help your husband. I took this advice to heart and jumped in with both feet. After nearly 33 years of marriage, four children and seven grand chillden later, we continue to face each challenge, obstacle and accomplishment together.”
