The vision for Bronson Family Farm is deeply rooted in a legacy of family, culture, and a profound connection to the land. It begins with Constance, who drew her inspiration from her spirited grandmother, a member of the Lorenzana clan from the Philippines.
Her grandmother was a natural and vibrant woman who cultivated a bountiful farm in Santa Rosa, California, now redeveloped to accommodate urban sprawl. This farm was more than just a place of work; it was an open classroom where Constance learned to grow food, tend to farm animals, and develop a love for the land.
Constance’s experiences on her grandmother’s farm became an intrinsic part of her DNA, shaping her lifelong passion for farming and nurturing life. For over forty years, Constance has continued this legacy, growing gardens wherever she has lived. Her grandmother’s wisdom and spirit have always been her guiding light.
Upon arriving in Ohio, Constance was inspired to expand her agricultural knowledge. She immediately enrolled in the Central State University Extension program, participating in the 2024 Fastrack Farming training for 28 weeks. This program further fueled her determination to pursue farming on a larger scale. With a vision to create a farm that offers more than just produce, Constance sought to blend agriculture with an element of agritourism that would benefit families and communities across the state of Ohio.
The farm also carries the legacy of the Bronson family, a family known for its spirituality, education, military service and commitment to community. Together, the Lorenzana and Bronson lineages unite, bringing a unique blend of tradition, innovation, and a deep-rooted love for the land. Bronson Family Farm is not just a business; it is the embodiment of a family heritage, a place where the values of education, sustainable agriculture, and community well-being come to life.
This farm aims to create an environment where families can reconnect with nature, learn about sustainable farming practices, and experience the joy of agritourism, all while honoring the wisdom and spirit of the generations that came before.
