Dare 2 Dream Farm

In 2010, after a series of illnesses that were destroying his body, Steve was diagnosed with Lyme’s Disease. Lyme’s is a bacterial infection that attacks, damages and shuts down parts of the body. Eating clean was a large part of Steve’s recovery, so knowing where his food came from became critical. Initially Steve and Patty raised their own laying hens, broiler (meat) chickens and produced a small amount of maple syrup. In 2010, they bought 4 bee colonies and the love and challenges of beekeeping began.

In 2012, they decided that it was time to get their own farm, and were moved to the current location by the beginning of 2013. This farm was to be a 10-year plan. Build it up for 10 years and than decide what the next steps would be. It was at this time that the farm was appropriately named “Dare 2 Dream Farm”. There was a lot of work put into restoring the farm and surrounding property. Everyone pitched in to make it work.
