About Eli – The Farmer

I grew up on the original acreage at Mack Farms (the “Home Farm”), where I spent my childhood playing in the “crick,” paddling the pond, and climbing around in the old bank barn. We always had a few animals around the barnyard for enjoyment but never really utilized the rest of the farm. From a young age, I felt called to the land; I knew I wanted animals, specifically cattle. At the age of twelve, I saved up money and bought my first calves, a bull and a heifer. That was the beginning.

My dad and I started scraping together more fences, and our little herd grew slowly but surely. Wanting to do things naturally and without major inputs, not to mention a complete lack of funds for feed and equipment, our attention was drawn to “rotational grazing.”
