The Berg Family
The Bergs live on a 200 acre family Polled Hereford beef cattle farm. Their kids are the eighth generation of Bergs to live in their century home. Trish and Mike truly enjoy the adventures that their kids have brought into their lives. Some of their favorite activities include:
- Summer vacations on Johnson’s Island at Grandma and Grandpa’s cottage on Lake Erie
- Cheering for Daddy’s Bulldog baseball team on sunny spring afternoons
- Family church camp at Camp Luther in Conneaut, Ohio, where they draw closer to the Lord, one another, and spend time with family and friends swimming, laughing a lot, singing by camp fires, and playing board games in the lodge
- Helping Grandpa Berg with the farm work, especially feeding the cattle and riding on the Gator
- Spending time up the hill at Grandma and Grandpa Berg’s house
