Farm Updates & Family Stories
Thanks for stopping by the R&E Kapraun Farms blog. Here, we share updates from the field, stories about the equipment that keeps us moving, and a few family milestones along the way. You’ll find a little bit of everything—long days planting and harvesting, time spent with neighbors, and the lessons we carry forward from those who came before us. It’s a place to reflect on where we’ve been and where we’re headed, one season at a time.
