Rob's grandfather, Cecil, moved to Dayton Valley in 1970. He and his son, Bill, developed a reputation for raising quality beef cattle and hay. Now decades later, Rob and his family (wife Loni, and children Daniel, Caleb, and Anna) continue that farming tradition by raising grass-fed and finished beef and lamb, soy and GMO-free pork, as well as USDA organic vegetables.
