About us

Hi everyone! We’re Mercedes and Aldus, and we couldn’t be more excited to embark on this new adventure, building our dream life together.

Mercedes is from Utah, and I’m from Washington state, but our paths crossed in 2015 when we met at Southern Virginia University. By 2019, we were married! After years of city life in Salt Lake, juggling busy careers and feeling overworked, we realized we wanted something different for our future. We longed for a slower, more intentional way of living, one rooted in family, nature, and meaningful work. The Howard Hill Rd Highland is stunning and has always felt like “our place.” It’s where we met, fell in love, and grew together as a couple. With family nearby, including Mercedes’ parents, who split their time between a home close to the farm here and another home, as well as her grandparents, we knew this was where we wanted to plant our roots.

We’ve always loved being outdoors, tackling new projects, traveling, and discovering great food. Every step of the way, we’ve felt guided to this opportunity, and the timing couldn’t be more perfect. Now, we get to build the life we’ve dreamed of, one centered around family, animals, and the land. We’re both excited (and a little nervous!) to take the leap into farm life, embrace its challenges, and celebrate its rewards. We hope you’ll join us as we raise these amazing cows, grow our family, and dive headfirst into this incredible journey!

Our goal is to produce micro miniature Scottish Highland Cattle, Nigerian dwarf goat, Miniature donkeys and Wagyu cattles with quality genetics and docile dispositions. We hope to give children, adults, and families the opportunity to raise animals on any size farm, so they too can experience all of the wonderful blessings a farm has to offer.

Core Values

Here at 7 Hills Family Farm, we strive to make sure that everything we do reflects our core values. What can you expect from us?

  • Transparency: Ask us anything!
  • Family-Owned: Everything we do here is a family affair.
  • Quality: From the best breeding stock to feed choices to the nurturing care we provide, quality is at the forefront of everything at 7 Hills Family Farm.

Our Values

7 Hills Family Farm takes pride in being a family owned and operated homestead. We believe that this family first approach helps us deliver on our other two core values: transparency and quality. We work together as a family to nurture our cattle, chickens, ducks, goats, and donkeys, which means we’re in a position to tell you anything you want to know about how they’re being raised. That’s real transparency. We also believe that our close connection to the farm as a family leads to quality in our livestock, eggs, and produce. Whether it’s an adorable fluffy calf or a strawberry patch, our products are lovingly nurtured to be the best they can be. That’s quality. That’s what sets 7 Hills Family Farm apart.
