"It is truly a family owned and operated business, therefore we do it with passion and a whole lot of faith. I don't believe you can truly appreciate farming and agriculture to its fullest, without faith and a belief in the Creator who made it all."

"One of the biggest challenges we face is being relevant in today’s world. The market has changed with the majority of people being far away from common farm knowledge. It's a big task to educate the public that beef is a safe and healthy product but its critical for our industry."

"To farm the land that my ancestors began farming in 1860 is humbling and I can think of no other career that I would rather be in. God has truly blessed our family by being able to continue living off the land and caring for His creation."
boggy creek farms
"Being born on the farm there wasn’t a “start day," I have always been part of the cattle industry. But more than that I have always loved the industry and the people in it."
ford farms
"We are doing what so many other farmers and ranchers across this land are doing. We’re trying to leave this farm a little better than we found it. Whether it is improving soil health with a mixture of grasses and legumes, rotational grazing, soil fertility, improved genetics, or educating the next generation, it will be our legacy. Lord help us to make it a good one."
