About Us

We are Betsy and Ron Russon a fifth generation family on the same family farm. Betsy is an attorney who practices federal administrative and social security disability law, and Ron is a wildlife fine artist by trade. We are both homesteaders the rest of the time, with a growing family, and rich heritage of working the land, planting, growing, and raising poultry and/or livestock. It's hard work, but we both love it, and the opportunities that farming and homesteading bring for self-sufficiency and home-based reliance. Layla (also pictured) is our rescue pup who keeps us all in line.
