“WE TRADED THE SALT FOR THE MUD”
Catherine and Rick Topel met a Chapman’s School of Seamanship in Stuart, FL in 2003. Their lives have been a diverse and constant adventure ever since! Both elevated to USCG 1600 Ton Master captain’s licenses and their careers took them nearly 100,000 nautical miles. Operating private yachts for more than a decade, the call for more freedom and an agrarian lifestyle took hold in 2017. Fearless in the face of change an incredible unfolding is forever taking place.
A pork chop prepared by one of the yacht chefs drove the whole business
Farming has played a part in both of their ancestry but it wasn’t until they purchased the ranch that they decided to actually become farmers. A delectable pork chop experience during their yachting days drove the whole business!
