The Waymire Farm  ·  Circa 1972

This farm has been in our family for generations.

Sometime in the mid-20th century, my grandfather purchased this property on the rolling ground of Madison County, Indiana. He ran it as a livestock and grain farm through most of his life. My dad grew up working this land. So did I.

"The land is still here. The family is still here. And we're building back."

The barns were built to last a century.
They nearly did.

A roof failure on the old timber-frame dairy barn led to an insurance claim, only to discover the coverage had been quietly dropped years before. Without the means to repair it, the barns slowly gave way to time.

What stood here

A Working Family Farm

A timber-frame dairy barn, a hog barn, and the infrastructure of a full livestock and grain operation — built to last and used hard for decades.

What happened

The Barns Were Lost

A lapsed insurance policy. A roof that couldn't hold. The farrowing barn went first, then the hog barn. The great dairy barn — visible in that 1972 aerial — came down about five years ago.

What comes next

We're Rebuilding

The first new structure is already built. It won't be the last. Every job we complete, every garden we till, every driveway we grade is a step toward a full restoration.

The unconventional road back to farming.

Getting back into farming the traditional way — livestock, row crops, the full operation — requires capital most families don't have sitting around. Equipment is expensive, Infrastructure doesn't build itself, and the operating costs add up before the first dollar comes in. The barrier is real, and it stops most operations before they start.

So we're going a different way.

Tractor services. A market garden growing high-value crops. A future farm stand. Every job we do for a neighbor, every basket of produce we sell, every driveway we grade goes toward the same thing: rebuilding this farm the right way, one piece at a time.

The first barn is already up. It's not the timber-frame dairy barn we lost — that comes later. But it's standing, it's ours, and it's the first structure on this property built by Waymire hands in a very long time. That matters to us more than we can explain.

If you hire us to till your garden or clear your fence line —

You're not just checking something off your property list. You're part of this story too. Every neighbor we serve is helping us get one step closer to the farm this land deserves to be again.

We appreciate that more than we can say. We don't take a single job for granted, and we'll always show up the way a neighbor should — honestly, carefully, and with real pride in the work.

Thank you for being here. We hope you'll follow along as we build it back.
