OUR STORY
Waite Family Farms is the beginning of a story.
Andrew's desire to farm springs from his desire for a family centered life. Inspired by a few short days at Polyface Farm, Andrew wants to create a life for his family centered on God and good food.
The summer of 2020 was the first year Waite Family Farms was in production. We are excited to find out where creating good food, and life long relationships will lead.
Andrew loved what he was doing but near the end of 2020 he decided to pause his farm journey and join the army. He has spent the last 6 years serving the army in both the infantry and singing with the 82nd Airborne Divisions All-American Chorus. While he was gone his mother Jennifer raised some chickens and grew tons (litterally) of wonderful vegtables.
Andrew and his beautiful wife Claire are back in town, permanently and are raising some of the best food there is. We can not wait for you to find out what the best chicken in the treasure valley tastes like!
ABOUT WAITE FAMILY FARMS
The 2020 growing season marked the beginning of a journey for Andrew and Waite Family Farms. Andrews desires to farm began with his desire for good food. Good food is hard to find, and even harder to afford. Andrew desired a different life, one where how hard he worked, and how much effort he put in directly influenced his ability to succeed and create a better life for those around him.
Andrew had a hard time picking a career. He spent three semesters in college jumping around majors trying to decide what kind of a life he would like. Eventually he decided that the one thing that he wanted out of his career choice was to be a considerable influence on his children. He wants to be able to work with them, home school them and be a direct force for growth. One long inspiration filled drive from Twin Falls to Boise left Andrew with the impression that farming might be the answer. Fast forward three years of work in the rebar industry, and countless hours of research and deep contemplation, Andrew decided to make the leap to farming.
