Owner Penny Walter and her fiancé, David Cole, moved from New York to Wyoming in the late 2000s, and purchased a small farm near Shoshoni. David brought with him many farming and agriculture skills that he learned during work on his family’s orchard in New Jersey, while studying agriculture in college, and later raising produce on his own farm in New York, where he met Penny.

David and Penny established an orchard on their property near Shoshoni, and he also produced many of the seeds used on the farm to grow numerous varieties of dry beans, fruits and vegetables. David passed away in 2022 at the age of 63. Penny is continuing the farm with the help of one of their children.
