Karen Kasper is a native of Owatonna, MN. After a 24-year office career, she decided to retire her high heels and to slip on her coveralls and barn boots. Her farm tours and involvement in agricultural organizations allows her to share farm facts and life skills. Karen's hobbies include volunteering, growing unique pumpkins and cooking. Her most recent recognition as the 2016 Midwest Farm Mom of the Year was a special honor. The Kasper Family is also proud to be named the 2017 Steele County Farm Family of the Year. Karen says, "the best thing we raised on the farm was the kids."
