SOME PEOPLE CALL IT THE FUNNY FARM, KNOWING THAT ALL OF THE ANIMALS ESSENTIALLY LIVE IN A FIVE-STAR RESORT. OUR DOGS FEAST ON ONLY THE BEST AND ARE NAMED AFTER SOME OF OUR FAVORITE AMERICAN PATRIOTS. EVEN OUR CATTLE ARE KNOWN TO HAVE A FEW POWDERED DONUTS NOW AND AGAIN.

Haylee Gibson, founder of L1FE Farms, carries forward a remarkable family legacy. Born in Wisconsin and raised on a farm in Tyler, Texas, her childhood was steeped in hard work, ultimately inspiring her to continue her family's traditions.Her grandfather, Dr. Vance Broussard, was a renowned veterinarian at the famed Fort Worth Stockyards and pioneered open-heart surgery on canines. Adding to this legacy, her mother spent years as an accomplished barrel racer. To say that farming and animal care run in Haylee's veins would be an understatement. Her background has uniquely prepared her for her role at L1FE Farms, where she combines her family's expertise with her own passion for agriculture.

L1FE FARMS FOUNDER

Wrangler chose to carry on his family's 200-year-old Texas farming and ranching tradition, and L1fe Farms' founding family was delighted to support his endeavor. His years of programming experience brought him various successes, but now he's shifted his passion to the expansive pastures of East Texas. Here, among our animals, he's found his true home.
