Saw us on TV?

Hi, we're the Tesch family

We bought raw land in Bells during Covid, and before the fence was even up, Sarah was already shopping for cows.

Neither of us grew up with livestock. We started with three weanlings in 2021, dove in head first, and learned as we went. Today it's over 100 head of cattle, 6 horses, 6 mini donkeys, alpacas, a flock of free-ranging chickens, three kids who wouldn't trade it, and a sunset from our hilltop we never get tired of.
