I Was Born At A Very Early Age

I guess you could say the idea of Brock Farms started at an early age. I was hooked at 12 by the magic that you can plant this little seed and you get a watermelon, or this one a carrot, and this one a corn stalk. I think for most folks seeing a seed you have planted and germinated is always a good feeling. I soon raised a garden and built a mini barnyard with chickens and a billy goat. I liked selling some of my veggies at a small lemonade-style stand outside our driveway. I wanted to be a farmer. Someone guided me into 4-H where I entered my produce and raised sheep and showed them at the Monterey County Fair. I have always wanted to be a farmer and wishing I could be a rancher from the get-go. I wasn’t in line to inherit any land, so after years of saving my money and after schooling, I went looking through Montana, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, and Colorado for the right place to set up shop and farm.
