Our Story
In the Spring of 2008 a Mechanical Engineer, Materials Joining Engineer, Computer Tech, and a Computer Programmer from Longview, TX began dreaming of a more meaningful lifestyle and wishing that there were a local farm nearby that provided healthy, naturally raised foods. After a few answered prayers and a lot of hard work, TrueFields was born. With an opportunity of a lifetime before us, we are in the midst of preparing for the 2010 year.
The Team
Matt and Jerica Cadman
Matt and Jerica are both engineers educated at LeTourneau University. They married in 2006 and began pursuing healthier eating as a result of Matt's battle with ulcerative colitis (read more about his story at www.saveyourguts.com). About two years into their marriage, their desire to farm and to educate others on what true nutrition is led to the idea of forming a company like TrueFields LLC. Now their dream is coming true, as they are managing a farm in Jefferson, TX, and hope to raise their family (the "farmin' army") there. Matt enjoys building things and solving problems (what engineers do best!), and loves helping others gain access to the food their bodies need so desperately. Jerica spends much of her time in research about nutrition and natural farming methods, and is the chapter leader of the Weston A. Price Foundation in the Longview/Tyler area. Their favorite hobby is to spend a quiet evening at home in front of a fire or watching a movie.
