Together our family—Nick and Paula and our four kids, Carson, Emma, Alea, and Griffin—have all been born and raised in Detroit Lakes and have called Nick’s family land home for more than 25 years. The ranch itself has deep roots, originally homesteaded by Nick’s grandfather, Art, back in the 1940's. For decades the acres were home to thousands of apple trees that were Art's pride and joy. Today many of the trees still stand and produce delicous apples of a wide variety still harvested by our family.
