Amber & Chris Stimpson

Amber's father bought this farm in Union City, KY when she was 12. The thought was, "DAD! WHY would you buy THIS place?!?" More than 30 years later Amber moved back to "THIS place" with her husband Chris to share time and love with her treasured father. They started with cattle, the area's traditional livestock of choice. 

Just three months, to the day, after moving in - a tornado ripped through Union City and the farm destroying fences, pasture, and significantly damaging the house and the barn. Cattle were getting out every week and the fences were no longer suitable for livestock containment. So, they had to rebuild.

Nearly two years later half of the farm is back in service. The remaining half, and the most important half, remains out of production due to fencing issues that are unresolvable at this time. The house remains under construction to finish tornado repairs and some remodeling. When it's possible, the facilities on the remaining half of the farm will be completed after the fencing issues are resolved.
