Lure of quiet rural living brought family, business to the area

It doesn’t seem like a place where a very active agricultural business would be booming, but appearances are decieving.
Southwest of Menominee, on a former ostrich and buffalo farm owned by Clarence Kast, is where a 7-year old business, Al Larson Distributing, Inc., is seeing growth.
Larson and his family, wife Debby and daughter Maddie, moved to the quiet, peaceful way of country living this past June. They lived in Omaha for years but Debby knew someday she wanted to live in the rural area like when she was young growing up on her family’s farm – the Adolph Kruses of Verdigre.
