Sarah

SHOFFNER

Boss Lady - Farmer - Businesswoman - Agricultural Advocate - Designer - Dog + Chicken + Goat Mom - Wife - Friend

Raised in Northern California, Sarah transplanted to the San Joaquin Valley in 2018 to put down roots. As a 5th generation farmer, she couldn’t get her hands in the dirt quick enough. Her love of agriculture and the appreciation of it’s beauty inspired her to collaborate with local business, Rocky Oaks Goat Creamery, to bring the flower farm and pumpkin patch to life.

Cutest Nephews

Everett and Leland Shoffner. We simply adore them.

Enablers

Joel and Margie Weber are a big part in helping the dream come true. They’re the most flexible and fun landlords around, and are co-conspirators on many of Sarah’s crazy ideas. They also make the most incredible goat cheese you’ve ever had. Fun fact: Joel became a wedding officiant in order to marry Lucas and Sarah at their 2019 wedding.
