History of the Farm
The Ebert Family Farm was established around 1908. The farm has always supported beef and dry land wheat farming.
In the 1980s, Alice and Harold Ebert moved from the farm near Byers to a home in Bassett, Nebraska to live near other family. Kerry (son) and Kasey (grandson) stayed at the ranch while most of it was leased out to a neighbor.
In 2002, Kres (grandson) and Julie Ebert took their collective experience in their agricultural roots and decided to try to make a start in agriculture at the farm. They began by leasing the dry land wheat ground back and purchasing a small herd of commercial Boer goats, to raise goat meat.
In 2004, Kres and Julie met David Lynch of Guidestone Farm and began the research to start a raw milk dairy.
During the spring of 2005 the grass portion of the farm began to be leased back and construction began on a dairy barn. Shortly thereafter, the 30-cow Jersey herd was moved from Guidestone Farm to the Ebert Family Farm and the Ebert family began to sustain itself in a life of agriculture.
