About us

Cedar Peak Farm Co. was dreamt about years ahead of its official start. Owners John and Ashley shared the desire to be self-reliant on food, as opposed to being held captive by commercially available processed food, supply chains, or food that had been slathered in pesticides and fertilizers and stripped of all nutritional value. Ashley desired not only healthy, fresh, homegrown food for their family, but to share it with the community in a way that honored the gifts God has apportioned to her and to be as close to nature as realistically possible.

Both John and Ashley prayed fervently for wisdom and direction on how best to walk out the dreams God had placed on their hearts, and in time, Cedar Peak Farm Co. was born.

Since Ashley likes to work with her hands, she began gathering supplies to build the farmstand. For over a month, every evening, weekend, or any spare time went into building their humble farmstand to share their baked goods with the community.

Whether it’s the homegrown food, traditional sourdough and other baked goods, or conducting mission work through John’s aviation or their local church involvement, the Veldhuis Family is dedicated to sharing alllll the bread, baked goods, fresh produce, eggs, and the gospel with their community, friends, and family.

What’s in a name?

Growing up, Ashley’s dad was a logger, and she spent most of her childhood days wandering in the forest, foraging for wild berries, building tree forts, and eventually was old enough to help with the logging operation. It’s here where she developed her love for the wilderness, God’s intricate creation, and her love and respect for all things cedar. In the Bible, the Cedars of Lebanon were prized for their sturdiness, with roots that ran deep and kept them firmly grounded. The “Cedar” in Cedar Peak represents all those same characteristics.

As it just so happens, John, Ashley, and the boys all thrive in the outdoors. For John and Ashley especially, they spend their off time summiting peaks, backpacking, and exploring all they can in Montana, Washington, Idaho, and Alaska. The “Peak” in Cedar Peak pays homage to their love for the challenge, their love of the wilderness and places most people will never see, and the breathtaking perspective one gets from seeing a sunrise or sunset from the top of a mountain peak, after trudging through the difficulty to get there. The peaks (both on the mountain and in life) are always sweeter after the grind.
