Story
Bill and Patrice Bobier established Earthscape Farms on 40 acres of land in Hesperia in 1971, growing it into a large multi-generational organic agricultural business. The couple shares their love of holistic wellbeing throughout West Michigan, by selling produce & beef at Sweetwater Market in Muskegon. Patrice supports families as a well-respected midwife, while Bill is a former policymaker best known for supporting sustainable forestry and environmental management. Bill also served as a Foundation trustee in the early 2000’s. Bill and Patrice made an immediate first grant to support the Oceana Conservation District’s Land Preservation Fund.
