The Marsteller's

Megan and Molly (Guthrie) Marsteller came from disparate backgrounds — Megan had an urban upbringing in Ohio, while Molly grew up on a small farm and contributed to their family business, Flowers of the Field, in Michigan. Upon high school graduation, both made the commitment to serve on active duty as United States Marines during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) in support of the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). 

Megan is a first-generation farmer who currently serves as the Project Management Director at American Farmland Trust (AFT) and manages the administrative aspects of the limited liability company, livestock/pasture welfare, hay production, and lean waste reduction-initiatives as a certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt.

Molly is a third-generation flower farmer and Michigan State University (MSU) certified Master Gardener who chose to resign from her extensive career in Information Systems Security to work full time on the farm in 2022. She manages the day-to-day operations of the organic market garden, apiary and Michigan native perennials.

Together, they own and operate Side Step Farms, LLC.
