Joan Seivert, the Mother of Lara & Daniel Richardson, was born and raised on the waters of Minnesota. Oldest of 4 siblings, Joan was born into being a caregiver, and from a young age knew that she would one day be a strong leader while being the glue and foundation for her future family. 

Joan moved from Minnesota to Colorado in 1974 and began her family then her business in 1989.   As a leader in the elder care community, Joan set benchmarks and expectations for elder rights, and was a real advocate for people with disabilities.  Joan retired to her dream farm in the Rogue Valley with her children and was part of the ground up development of Lane Creek Reserve.

Today, she still carries the role as the caregiver as she spends her days enjoying her grandchildren and exploring the farm through the eyes of them. In addition, Joan oversees the out-sourced organic food program for the animals and is the certified lover of all the fur and feather babies, and keeps the farm stocked with food, function and fun!
