Board of Directors
Ralph Morton
Chairman of the Board
Ralph Morton grew up on a family farm in rural America, a 3rd generation farmer. Ralph is a retired Army veteran of 21 years. Before entering the Armed Forces, he operated a beef cattle operation independent of Cattle Run Farm. In 1996, he sold out and joined the Armed Forces. Ralph participated in numerous deployments in the Army, including Operation Joint Guard, Operation Intrinsic Action, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom. Upon retirement, the biggest reason for returning to agrarian life is his passion for a rural rustic, relaxing lifestyle and cultivating the land. The cultivation of land runs deep in his blood as he grew up engaged in local 4-H and FFA programs and worked alongside his father and grandfathers. It's a rewarding feeling and lifestyle to grow, produce, and harvest natural, locally grown food for your family and the community.
