Behind David's Pasture

Jack-of-all-trades and the only Kesten left in Missouri, Remi oversees the poultry and swine operations, handles sales and customer service, and manages our website.

Dave is a family friend, adopted grandfather, and world's best delivery guy! You won't meet anyone with a bigger heart, smile, or collection of practical jokes.

Kaitlyn started at David's Pasture at the beginning of May. She's a down-to-earth girl who loves all things natural, and makes the soaps we carry through her small business, Chicory Lane Soaps & Salves. She milks here most mornings and helps Kenneth care for our poultry and livestock.

During her summer break, Alexis is helping us with packing orders, managing inventory, and customer service. She is super smart - she's headed into medical school - and is doing a great job of keeping these farmers organized!

David and Kim began David's Pasture in 2011 after growing tired of corporate America, and the lies in our food system. They began with a single batch of chickens, and the business slowly grew over the course of time. In January of 2019, (most of) the Kesten family moved back to their home state of Florida to be with and care for relatives. Even so, they are still very much a part of David's Pasture, and they hope to eventually begin a second farm there in Bradenton.

The Lewie's moved onto the farm in March of 2019, after Kenny left his job at the local sheriff's office. Kenny now handles the day-to-day workings of the farm, as well as infrastructure projects, and does custom woodworking on the side. April homeschools their children full-time, and enjoys her runner ducks and "show chickens," which she keeps here at the house for visitors to enjoy. The boys are a big help, and right-hands to their dad.
