Let our Family become yours

Backyard Acres at Flying Tractor Farm is your Door County destination for farm-fresh produce, eggs, and meat. We use organic practices paired with education and a year-long farm stand. We are much more than that. We are also a family. Miranda Hottenroth, mother of four, is an enthusiastic supporter of all good food, dating back to 2015 when she realized that organic produce had a significant impact on the neurological and emotional well-being of her children. Miranda’s family is one with special needs and abilities. Within her immediate family, there is autism, a minor traumatic brain injury, and development effects due to heavy metal toxins. 

Miranda relocated from Sheboygan to Sturgeon Bay to lease Flying Tractor Farm as Backyard Acres. Today, Miranda's mission in life is to care for others by feeding them and to create a sustainable way for her family to support itself. That’s why Miranda and her family compassionately embrace and welcome families of all types and abilities to visit the farm. The Flying Tractor Farm is a judgment-free place, with patient and welcoming people. When you visit Backyard Acres at Flying Tractor Farm, you'll be greeted by a friendly face.

In 2013, Ron decided to make farming his second career. He lived on a dairy farm when he was younger but spent the majority of his career in mortgage banking. His vision was to use organic farming practices to raise produce, meat, and eggs for distribution in the Greater Door County area. 

in 2020, Ron decided to retire, this time for good! His successor and leaser, Miranda Hottenroth, Owner of Backyard Acres,  She is picking up where Ron has left off, bringing with her years of farming experience and her own unique ideas. Ron still lives at Flying Tractor Farm, so he can be found assisting Miranda in Tractor Operations and Mentorship.
