Our roots run deep in the Kenaston area with farming going back 4 generations. With the family out of the farming industry for over 2 decades Josh and Paula started Kerpan Farms from humble beginnings in 2009. With great blessings and a lot of help from a lot of great people the farm has quickly grown to over 11,000 acres. We are deeply committed to improving the land we manage to create economic and ecological sustainability.
