After graduating from UW-River Falls in 2013, Jacki (Roden) found her spot back in the family business by opening the farm to community members. Her dream of coming back to the family business and promoting the agriculture industry has been made possible with the strong support of her family, and she praises the Lord for giving her this opportunity.

Roden Echo Valley - Bob & Cindy Roden 

​

Born and raised on a family farm in the Town of Saukville, Bob started his own farm in 1975 by renting land in the neighborhood and using some of his father’s equipment, and purchasing some of his own. Bob is the son of the late Victor & Gladys Roden, and the second oldest of ten children. Cindy was also raised on a dairy farm, and after getting married in 1983 Cindy joined Bob’s farming adventures. While living at the Town of Saukville farm, Bob and Cindy were blessed with five children: Rick, Patti, Amy, Becky and Jacki.

​

In 1995 Bob and Cindy purchased the current farm in the Town of Trenton and sold the farm in the Town of Saukville. When the family moved, they had 70 milk cows. In 2004 Rick, purchased heifers to become part owner of the milking cows. Since the family moved in 1995, there have been many changes to the farm; the biggest change was forming Roden Echo Valley, LLC in 2015 to prepare for future generations. To this day, Roden Echo Valley, LLC is a 700-cow dairy farm owned and operated by the Roden family. In 2022 they started milking in a new 40-stall rotary milking parlor.  

​

All of the children have a passion for agriculture and are each connected to a farm – whether the home family farm or their own farm! And now it’s time to get the next generation, all the grandkids, involved as well!
