We Are Farmily

If you get a goat, they will come!

Annie was born and raised in Stillwater, MN and a favorite barista of many.  When we met Annie, 6 years ago, we were drawn to her huge smile and remarkable interactions with customers she served every day. As we got to know Annie, it was evident that she was a unique and loving soul. As our friendship continued to grow, we began to share our life journeys with each other. We discovered that we had so many things in common and were excited to share them with each other. As the farm began to grow, occasionally we needed help. Annie would say “Pick me, pick me.  I’ll do it!” So, just like that, she was spending time at the farm helping in any way she could.

When business would take us away from the farm, Annie would take on the daily tasks. Sometimes she would bring someone along to help with the chores. Laura, Annie’s mom, would say, “Pick me, pick me.  I wanna go to the farm!”  It took Annie 6 years to introduce her mom to us, but instantly we became the Quad Squad. Laura and Annie are the kindest, most helpful, loving people and instigators of getting new barnyard residents.  Their commitment, humor, knowledge and friendship are what makes the Rusty Bucket special. They are a daily testimony to the circle of barnyard life. The way they care about each other, other people and all the animals is a true gift to the Bucket family and visitors.
