Kevin & Debby Flowers

Ole Lake Farm is home to farmers Kevin and Debby Flowers, a flock of free-range laying hens, pampered Alpine dairy goats, and sometimes a few frisky pigs. Our goal is to raise our grain, produce, and animals as naturally, humanely, and sustainably as possible. Our customers love our handmade goat’s milk soap and lotion, and the healthy whole-grain flour we grind from the wheat, rye, corn and other grains that are grown here. Find us at local retailers.
