For over seven decades, Pearce’s Farm has been shaped by the steady partnership of Bob and Mary Ann Pearce. Their work has guided the growth of the farm and the family business that serves generations of customers across Walworth County.

Mary Ann was a “city girl” from Elkhorn who never expected to build a life in agriculture, or with the man who would change the course of her future. When Bob...

Praise

"Bring Jade Home is the perfect book for animal lovers, particularly dog lovers, but it has a wider appeal—it is uplifting, it shows what lengths we as humans will go to help each other when moved to do so. An inspiring story for just about everyone."

– —Mary McCluskey, Author, The Long Deception, Intrusion

Jade Lost in Yellowstone. This children’s book is simply OUTSTANDING! I read the adult version of this book TWICE because I just couldn’t get enough of Jade. This book is delightfully written not only for children but adults as well. And the illustrations! OMG what a talented illustrator Steph Lehmann is! Love the artwork. This book is one of those books you will read and re-read to your children and then hand down to grandchildren.

– Amazon Customer

Desire in Dairyland “A charming, funny, romantic mystery with a fine, twisty plot and a delightfully kooky cast of older patients and friends.”

– Angela Knight, NY Times Bestselling Author
