Our Story

Audie’s Acres began with a shared passion - for movement, nutrition, and intentional living.  Allen and I met through fitness, bonded over early morning work-outs, and built a life where health and wellness weren’t just routines, but values.  We challenged each other, supported each other, and somewhere along the way, fell in love.

Less than a year later, we crossed the finish line of Ironman WI, and got engaged.  That moment, built on discipline, growth, and trust, became symbolic of something much more: taking the next step forward, together.

When our daughter was born, everything shifted.  Wellness wasn’t just about us anymore, it was about giving her the healthiest possible start.  But finding healthy food on the grocery store shelf was harder than expected.  We wanted to know what was in it, where it came from, and how it was produced.  So we started to grow and make much of her food ourselves.

In many ways, it was a return to my roots. I grew up in a family that gardened and preserved for the winter.  I’ll never forget coming home from school to see a handwritten sign taped to the door: “Welcome to the Bean Factory.”  At the time, it meant hours of snapping, washing, and canning - chores I didn’t like.  But now, I  look back on those moments with gratitude.  They shaped the way I see food, family, and the kind of life I want to build.  The Bean Factory returns in 2025!

Our garden started small, but in 2024, a bigger dream began to take root.  We found a piece of land just outside Hudson, Wisconsin, and we made it ours.  That’s when Audie’s Acres was born.  Named after our daughter, and inspired by the love and purpose she brings to our lives, the farm reflects what we believe in.

We’re still getting started, but we are excited about what we’re building.  From our family to yours, thank you for believing in the power of small beginnings.
