Some people ask, "Who runs things at the farm?" Well, more than a few Carters!
Dwight Carter, son of Russell and Maxine, has owned the farm since 2021. Since then, beyond stewarding the farm as manager, he grows primarily tomatoes and cucumbers.
Steven (son of Mark Carter) and wife RenΓ©e primarily run the Fall Festival, as well as other events such as the Sunflower Festival.
Luke (son of Tony Carter) and wife Carissa are, as of this year, overseeing primarily strawberries and asparagus.
Paul and wife Lori grew strawberries for a couple years, but are now focused on working with Steven and RenΓ©e with summer events, with a focus on sunflowers and zinnias.
While we all have a different focus, we all work the same land, drive the same tractors, and work together when we can to help each other out. Some day, we'll create a family tree to make it easier to navigate π
