Schevers is the fourth generation on her 100-acre farm, and raises poultry and vegetables, along with renting 3 “glamper” campsites. “My goal, with support and agreement from my mother, sister, and aunt is to transition the entire property into native grasses, pollinator habitat, wildlife corridors, and pond scrapes for waterfowl. The reasoning is to utilize our little ‘block’ of land to be a place for our family to enjoy and nature to flourish for generations to come,” says Schevers. “The original farm deed was in my great-grandmother’s name after my great-grandfather passed in 1922, then transitioned to her son, and then to my father until 1997, when it returned to women management with my mother. I am proud to be the next generation of women to steer this property into a completely different future.”
