John & Robin and Stuart & Hillary Nafziger are the owners of Hopedale Agri Center, Inc. since 11.11.11. John managed the mill 8 years prior to this purchase.
John grew up on the family farm in Hopedale and Robin was raised down the road in Tremont, Illinois. They grew up attending the same church and many times were the only two at the youth group on Bible study nights, so they formed a firm foundation for their life together. By God’s grace they have been married over 30 years. They raised 3 children, Justina, Stuart and Daniel. Stuart joined the business with his dad 7 years ago. He and John both have their degrees in Agri-Business from Illinois State University. Stuart's wife Hillary, is a Dosimetrist at a hospital in Decatur. She helps at events and brings an objective perspective in our business meetings, which is well needed. They recently had a baby girl, Kennedy, who is the princess in the family! They all live with Mr. Big Rig (their fun loving black lab who is named after Wrigley Field!
John uses his education along with his life-long farm experience to create special feed blends for all types of livestock based on their age and growth needs. John often finds himself in an advisory role, answering customer questions and giving advice, with or without a sale. HAC sells customized feed blends for horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, alpaca, goats and even custom mixes for rats and mice! We also carry liquid feed, Mix 30 to supplement animals in the cold winter.
