Lauren & Dan Klingbiel

Lauren, a free lance journalist, was the ox drover on Dunroven Farm. After attending Tillers International Oxen Basics Classes, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Lauren trained her oxen to log, pull their 14 foot freight wagon, and the stone boat. You can see all of the wooden ox yokes the team outgrew in the oxen barn. The Klingbiels have since sold their oxen teams. Lauren now has over 40 laying hens whose eggs she delivers to town customers. The Klingbiels also grow seasonal garden produce.

Dan took interested guests out to the coal-fired forge, equipped with a 1927 Little Giant Power Hammer and made a project in iron to take home. Though he no longer works regurarly in the forge, visitors can visit the building and enjoy the ambience and view some projects. Dragons were Dan’s specialty: both door handles and door knockers.

The Farm
Surrounded by forest and beach on Malcolm Island, the ten-acre farm invites visitors to sample history and the beauty of the area.







Though no longer an active oxen farm and forge, today’s farmyard continues to offer a fascinating glimpse of the property’s past. A walk around the farm you will see the “N” house with laying hens and close by, the vegetable garden where you can taste the plump and delicious blueberries in late summer. We grow many other vegetables in the garden each year.
