Shipley Family
Shipley Farms began in the early 1900s as a small dairy operation near Esko. Today, John and Teresa Shipley are the fourth generation to continue the family farm, beginning in 1985.
John and Teresa, along with their daughter Samantha, operate a beef cow/calf operation and produce 300-400 bales of hay annually.
In addition to operating their farm, John continues to serve his community as he has for over 35 years in the Esko Fire Department. He was also a member of the Carlton County Extension Committee for 9 years.
The Shipleys support other farmers when faced with disasters, including organizing monetary and hay donations to other states during times of crisis such as droughts, floods, hurricanes and fires.
