About
The farm is owned by Dean and Melissa Keller. They purchased the farm in 2017 to pursue their dream of farming and as a way to set down some roots for their family. The Keller's have what they call a "blended family" which was the basis of their farm's name. For the couple, this is a second marriage for both and between them, they have 7 children and two grandchildren (and 2 more grandchildren on the way). Together they are a "Perfect Blend".
Prior to the purchase of the farm, they had rented a small farm in which they discovered home-steading and realized they both had a passion for the farm lifestyle. Soon after they married in 2012, it was evident that the small rented farm was not going to provided enough space for their big Farm dreams. For five years, they perfected their growing techniques, gathered information on animal husbandry and were in search of their dream farm.
In 2017 they finally found what they were looking for, the perfect spot to lay down their roots, build their dream farm and live life to the fullest. The Perfectly Blended Farm began to take shape. New life was brought back into the old run-down farm. Animals arrived. Fields were plowed and planted. The farm was now a hub of activity.
Today, the farm is thriving, with a seasonal farm stand, 18 week CSA, year-round beef, Goat Yoga, new farm store, seasonal camper rental thru Airbnb, additional 20 BOX sales and attendance to local Farmer's markets.
They love and support their community. Melissa, who is a registered nurse, is an employee of Cattaraugus County and works at the Pines of Machias. She is a 4th generation of her family to reside in Machias, New York.
Dean, is originally from Ashford, New York. He currently works as a butcher for Ford Brothers in Ashford and knows his beef.
