-- Country Haven Farm LLC, a family-owned farm based in Cardington, Ohio, has announced continued national growth following several years of expanded demand for its rare poultry, miniature cattle, and farm-produced goods. Led by CEO Randee Summers, the farm has grown from a smaller Delaware, Ohio location into a recognized rural business serving customers across the continental United States by appointment and through online channels.
The announcement follows a period of increased visibility for Country Haven Farm LLC, including national-level poultry champions and placings in multiple recent years, broader interest in its miniature and small-framed cattle, and continued demand for carefully selected poultry genetics. The farm operates through its website, Country Haven Farm LLC, and maintains customer updates through Country Haven Farm Ohio and its Facebook page. You can email directly to [email protected].
From Small Farm Roots to a Wider Reach
Country Haven Farm LLC was founded by Christopher and Randee Summers, who began farming at a smaller Delaware, Ohio property in 2006 before purchasing their current, larger farm in Cardington in 2013. The operation remains family run, with involvement from Randee, Chris, their young son, siblings, and extended family members who assist with livestock, poultry, handmade products, farm work, and product packaging.
Randee Summers grew up in rural Ohio, where her family raised horses, chickens, and a dairy goat herd. That background helped shape the farm’s current emphasis on animal care, selective breeding, and practical livestock knowledge. Chris Summers grew up in a small town but has developed farm skills through years of daily work with animals, equipment, land management, and family operations.
The Summers family’s present-day farm includes miniature cattle, small-framed cattle, Highlands, rare and ultra-rare poultry, hatching eggs, gifts, and animal care solutions. Poultry offerings include notable breeds such as Ameraucana, Kikiriki, and Ayam Cemani, all known for their distinct characteristics and interest among specialty poultry keepers.
Care Standards Guide Selective Breeding
Country Haven Farm LLC attributes much of its recent growth to a husbandry approach centered on animal welfare, careful selection, and daily familiarity with each animal. The farm states that adult poultry have access to outdoor pens with grass and safe nesting areas. Its flock also participates in the National Poultry Improvement Program, commonly known as NPIP, and is tested as AI Clean, referring to avian influenza monitoring.
The farm’s breeding program emphasizes genetics, temperament, health, and suitability for customers seeking specialty poultry or miniature cattle. According to the company, selection decisions are made gradually and with attention to lineage, conformation, and consistency. This approach has supported the farm’s presence at competitive poultry events and contributed to customer interest beyond Ohio.
“Growth has come from years of hands-on work, family support, and a commitment to treating the animals with care,” said Randee Summers, CEO of Country Haven Farm LLC. “We are proud that a family farm in Cardington can build relationships with customers across the country while staying true to the standards that started our operation.”
National Interest in Rare Poultry and Miniature Cattle
The farm reports that its rare poultry and miniature cattle have become increasingly sought within livestock and homestead communities. Interest has been driven by customers seeking unique breeds, smaller cattle suited for modest acreage, and poultry from flocks with documented care practices. Country Haven Farm LLC ships eligible products anywhere in the continental United States, while cattle and farm visits are managed by appointment.
The farm’s poultry program has received national-level attention through champions and placings over several consecutive years. While show results vary by event and season, Country Haven Farm LLC states that its emphasis on selective breeding and consistent care has helped the farm build a reputation among poultry enthusiasts looking for established bloodlines and responsible management.
Miniature and small-framed cattle are another major area of growth. Country Haven Farm LLC raises animals selected for size, structure, and overall quality. The farm’s cattle program includes Highlands, a breed known for its distinctive coat and adaptability, and other small-framed livestock that appeal to families, hobby farms, and acreage owners seeking cattle with manageable size considerations.
A Woman-Led Rural Business With Family Support
Randee Summers’ role as CEO places Country Haven Farm LLC among woman-led agricultural businesses contributing to rural entrepreneurship in Ohio. The farm’s growth reflects a broader trend of small farms using digital storefronts, social media, and direct customer relationships to reach buyers outside their local region while maintaining appointment-based, hands-on operations.
The Summers family also emphasizes that the farm remains personal in scale despite national demand. Animals are treated as part of the farm’s daily family life, from barn cats to horses, poultry, and cattle. The company states that this personal approach supports long-term decision-making and helps distinguish its operation from larger, volume-centered livestock businesses.
Appointment-Based Operations and Customer Access
Country Haven Farm LLC operates by appointment, allowing the farm to manage animal care, daily chores, customer communication, and visits without disrupting core operations. Customers can review available information and product details through the company’s websites, while direct inquiries may be made by email or by social media.
The farm’s online presence supports its expanded reach, including e-commerce tools for select products and updates on availability, policies, farm news, and livestock offerings. Country Haven Farm LLC states that customer service remains central to its approach as it continues to balance nationwide interest with the needs of a working family farm.
As demand for rare poultry, hatching eggs, miniature cattle, and ethically managed livestock continues, Country Haven Farm LLC plans to maintain its focus on selective breeding, animal care, and family participation. The company’s current announcement marks a growth milestone for an Ohio farm that began as a smaller hobby operation and has developed into a family business with national visibility.
