Although their farm was purchased in 2015, the Parry family can trace their agricultural roots back seven continuous generations. One of Evan’s ancestors, Benjamin Parry, invented a process for preserving corn and grain for long distance shipping in 1810. Almost every childhood memory Evan has revolves around living on a farm, from raising cows on his grandparents’ dairy farm to riding in the combine with his grandfather. Evan’s wife Katharine didn’t grow up on a farm, but has always been determined and goal-oriented. She has wanted to raise her family on a farm ever since she met Evan. Previously, she opened a full-service salon at an age when most people are just graduating from high school. She ran the business successfully for nearly 10 years, but ultimately decided to sell the company to focus on farming and raising their family.
