OUR STORY
First-Generation Family Farm | Veteran-Owned & Operated | Established 2021
About Us
We’re Mat and Ava Jensen, the proud owners and operators of On the Edge Farm, established in 2021. Our journey started with a shared passion for the outdoors, nature, animals, and building a strong, supportive community. We dream of creating a space where families can come together to explore, learn, and connect—whether that’s discovering the wonders of nature, embracing the magic of animal companionship, or simply getting back to the basics of life.
At On the Edge Farm, we believe in the power of hands-on learning. Our goal is to teach people how to grow their own food, create with their hands, and appreciate the simple joys of life. Our animals aren’t just livestock—they’re family. Many have come to us to live out their lives surrounded by love and care.
We’ve dedicated countless hours to restoring and cleaning up our farm, transforming it into a thriving space. From hauling away dumpsters full of garbage to recycling, reusing, and refurbishing materials to build sustainable shelters for our animals, we’re committed to minimizing our impact on the land. Every day, we learn from the land, from the animals, and from nature itself—all alongside our children.
Though we didn’t grow up on a farm, we got here as fast as we could. Thank you for being a part of our journey and supporting your local farmers and artisans. Together, we’re creating something truly special.
