About Us

👋 Hi Everyone! Welcome to Harvest 88 Farms.

We are a small family farm business ran by partners: Eric, Lauri, Stephanie, and Patsy. Corbin and Alex (Stephanie's two boys) are also a big part of the farm. 

Previously Lone Star Farm & Ranch (est. 2016, doing mainly pony rides)

We changed over to Harvest 88 Farms (est. 2022) and partnered with Patsy (Mother/Grandmother), as she was such a big part of our farm business already.

We also learn from and are in partnership in certain areas of the farm with several extended family members. 

We are so grateful to have such an amazing family full of love, friendship, partnership, community and support! We truly couldn't do it without all involved!
