Our Story…

Our love of agriculture began many years ago. Alan and I were both raised on family cattle ranches so you could say that farming and ranching has always been in our blood. At an early age, our parents and grandparents instilled in us a love for hard work, cultivating beauty, and the importance of God and family. Farming and ranching meant much more to them than raising livestock or harvesting a crop, it was about living a life of purpose. For it was amongst the toil and quiet moments of the day, that life’s most impactful lessons were taught; conversations with Grandma in the flower garden or patience learned while fixing a tractor with Grandpa. These lessons came soft and gradual, but over time, had a lasting influence in shaping our moral character and our love of farming.

Although circumstances required us to raise our boys away from daily farm life, we returned as often as we could, spending our summer breaks and holidays working on Grandpa’s ranch in Colorado. We made so many happy memories working together and we longed for a place of our own. Three years ago, an opportunity presented itself and we were able to purchase a 15 acre hay farm in Benjamin, Utah. Giving a nod to our ancestors, and love of the Netherlands, the name Dutch Hollow Farms was born. Since purchasing the farm, we can honestly say, we’ve never been happier or more exhausted in all our lives!

There’s just something about farm life that heals the soul and lifts the spirits. Maybe it’s the sense of purpose it brings; or the art of cultivating a beautiful space, or perhaps it’s the exhaustion speaking, but whatever it is, we love it! Between the lush green hay fields and the flower covered meadows, Dutch Hollow has become a magical place of peace and renewal for our family and we hope you and your family will enjoy it too. So… come visit… slow down… take a deep breath… and leave your worries at the gate, even for just a little while. We’ll be waiting for you.
