About Us ....
Bob Biesterfeld: New Yorker. Prior Workaholic/City/Beach lover, now never wants to leave the ranch, semi-retired, Cowboy, Loves People, wants each person who visits the ranch to Love their Experience! Loves animals and would like one or two of everything! Loves motorcycles, Cars, Trucks, Harley's, his wife and 4 boys, believes that everyone should get married at the ranch!
Lisa Biesterfeld: A small town background. Farmgirl at heart --loves the city and beach but prefers the ranch! Prior Accountant for the Department of Defense for 10 years, Stay at home mom, Interior Designer. Loves people, animals, reading, spending time with Bob and all the boys, shopping for the ranch, shopping for the weddings, giving tours of the ranch, and getting dirty in the greenhouse with a nice glass of wine! Nothing is more fun than meeting a nice couple, booking the event, and having it all come together and seeing the gorgeous photos at the end! --and the wonderful comments such as "we had the time of our lives!" ... and even better when a friendship evolves and we stay in touch!

Hours:
By appointment only
DIRECTIONS: the ranch can be reached only from Highway 76. You can take the 5 frwy or 15 frwy to the 76 EAST. From there you will go 1 1/2 miles past the Pala Casino and make a left on Magee Road. (Magee road is a little road that is poorly marked) You head north on Magee road, climbing up 3 1/2 miles ... (It feels like a very long time) Once you see a little yellow house on the left we are directly across on the right behind the gates down a long driveway! *Please note: Any other direction other than Highway 76 will probably lead you to a locked gate on the other side of Magee road. INCLUDING MAPQUEST!!!!
