Ed and Anne Gorenz Family Farm
Ed and Anne have been married for 35 years in May and have 5 children, Sally, Joe, Mike, and Catherine and Brad. Both Ed and Anne have lived on farms their whole lives. Anne was raised on a thoroughbred race horse farm in Wheaton, IL and have been around animals her entire life. Anne and her parents moved out to Sugar Grove in 1978. Ed was raised on a Agriculture farm located only minutes away from the Gorenz's current homestead; in Maple Park, Illinois. The Gorenz children were active in 4-H and have had many animals over the years; dogs, horses, chickens, turkeys, rabbits, and sheep. We love passing our love of our goldens to all the families we are privileged to meet along the way!
 Our goldens have been apart of our family for years! |
