VanHorn Family
The VanHorn family farm began as a dairy farm near Aitkin in 1950. In 1978, Jeff and his wife, Cheryl, purchased the farm from his parents. They began raising Hereford cattle, investing in new machinery and growing their herd to a successful cow/calf operation. Jeff and Cheryl had two daughters, Jessica and Robin.
Today, the land still supports a cattle operation run by Jeff and his second wife, Samantha. Their blended family and good friends support their work on the farm, including Jeff’s daughter, Robin, and Samantha’s children, Breanna, Jake and Brent.
Jeff was active in 4-H and FFA in his youth. He has contributed to his community by serving on the local township board for 20 years. Currently, Jeff supports his community by participating as an FFA Alumni member and through the Central Minnesota Cattlemen’s Association. His contributions to his community and his operation showcase his belief in agriculture and family farms.
