There are almost two million farms in the USA. About 80% of those are small farms, and a large percentage are family owned. More and more of these farmers are now selling their products directly to the public. They do this via CSA programs, Farmers' Markets, Food Coops, u-picks, farm stands, and other direct marketing channels. Would you like to support your local farmer?

My name is Kimberley Eklund and I live on a ranch called Triple Play Cattle Company with my husband Scott and brand new son Liam Everett. We raise purebred Red Angus cattle and we also have horses and border collie dogs. Our ranch is located in some of the finest ranch country in the world near the Grasslands National Park in southern Saskatchewan. Some of the things I love to do are showing cattle, riding & training horses, travelling, reading, sports, baking, scrapbooking and spending time with family & friends.
