Iowa Trip for the Gents

Geoff has wanted to travel to Iowa for many years as this is where our business partner and friend, Doug, is from. In Iowa is Doug’s family and the farming roots that helped to partner us up with Doug many years ago to start our own cattle farming business (the beginning of Soul Farms). Geoff, Frazier, Doug and another friend, Brooks, left before 4am for a 17 hour drive on Thursday morning. They pulled a horse trailer as that was the original reason for the trip - to pick up a new barrel riding horse for Doug’s daughter. 

From the stories I heard, they had a grand ol’ time eating microwave bacon and powdered donuts for breakfast with Doug’s dad (he is a widower), visiting the country farm store, hunting for deer (all the men shot one a piece) and spending time with Doug’s family. They returned home Monday evening after another long day of driving, but even still, both my boys had smiles on their faces. And I was certainly happy to have them home!

It was a sweet, impromptu father-son trip that both are ready to repeat next year...maybe by plane and not by truck.
