Chris and Marah Steele of Adams County started farming in
2005 on the same land Chris grew up on. In
addition to their farm, Chris is a salesman for a multi-state tire distributor. Marah was a Kindergarten teacher until their
second child was born. Now she manages
the household and the agri-tourism operation.
Chris and Marah turned their dream of farming into a
diversified operation that includes pumpkins, a corn maze, soy candles, a
market, freezer meat, special activities and crafts, and a concession stand, as
well as corn and soybeans. They have
three children, Carter, 7, Cooper, 5, and Mayah, 3. While the fall activities on Steele Family
Farms are open late September through late October, they sell freezer meat year
round.
Chris and Marah are active in Farm Bureau, having served on
the State Young Farmer Committee as well as in other positions at the county
and state levels. They are also both
active in their community, church and Boy Scouts.
