Leslie has a small high tunnel where she grows strawberries and other vegetable crops. They also raise a few cows and hogs.

Leslie and Ricky raised 3 amazing kids. The two oldest both have careers in agriculture, and their youngest, Jackie, was also pursuing a career in agriculture, when for reasons that will never be fully understood, she decided to take a different path, running ahead to Heaven in September 2018.
These days, in addition to her passion for agriculture, Leslie also has a passion for mental health. It is her hope that her story will touch others and let them know how much they really do matter and make a difference in this life. You Are Enough!
