I like to say my life can be described by the 3 “F’s”
Faith, Family, and Farming.
FAITH
I’ll start with the first F- faith. The tree you see in our logo is a staple landmark on one of our farms that sits on the top of a hill by itself, and that tree has significant symbolic meaning to the “why” behind our story. In the bible, the book of John chapter 15, verse 5 describes a vine and branches bearing much fruit, and that story forms the root of my beliefs in my faith and trust in God’s plans. I am incredibly blessed and thankful that He has instilled a passion for the land and my love for livestock.
FAMILY
The tree also represents the second F- family, which brings me back to my family’s branches and values in farming. My grandpa, who started Beringer Farms, was my best friend, my hero, and the one I looked up to and admired every day. Since I was a little girl, whether we were going to cattle sales together, going coon hunting, getting ice cream, or doing anything on the farm, it was always my grandpa and I together. Everything that I do and work for, my goals and plans with the farm, and all the hard work and long days I put in are to give back to what my grandpa has started for me. With three brothers and one sister in my immediate family showing no interest in the farm and me being one of 26 grandchildren, I am proud to say I am the one carrying on my grandpa’s legacy.
FARMING
The last F, farming, results from what my faith and family have provided for me. Farm life is something I took an interest in as a little girl. I have been outside working on the farm since I could walk. I was only eight years old when my dad taught me to drive the Jeep up and down the road so I could pick him up after he checked cattle. My passion was so strong that my punishment growing up was to stay inside, away from the farm. From cutting hay to hauling manure to caring for my cattle, I’ve pretty much done it all and will continue to do so as I take over the farm with my parents. Over the years, my family has raised hogs, finished out feeder cattle, put in row crops, and is now the future of our operation. I’ll start with the first F- faith. The tree you see in our logo is a staple landmark on one of our farms that sits on the top of a hill by itself, and that tree has significant symbolic meaning to the “why” behind our story. In the bible, the book of John chapter 15, verse 5 describes a vine and branches bearing much fruit, and that story forms the root of my beliefs in my faith and trust in God’s plans. I am incredibly blessed and thankful that He has instilled a passion for the land and my love for livestock.
