A Little History

Welcome to our Red Haven page! Red Haven Farm was started in June 2021 when we decided we wanted more space and more animals. 

We moved from a small 2-acre farm in Northville Michigan in the middle of the Detroit suburbs to 540 acres in Irvine Kentucky. It was a fairly spontaneous decision, but the time seemed right with COVID allowing us both to work from home, kids in college and the desire to live a healthier lifestyle. We were also looking for a place to enjoy our future retirement. We saw this farm in the beautiful Red Lick Valley and we were immediate in love with the place.

Since purchasing the farm, we have focused on getting the land back in working order, building up our livestock, creating amazing short-term rentals, establishing our homestead and enjoying the land.

We welcome you to visit and see this beautiful part of the world.
