The story of Acres of Grace Farms started in April of 2011. Nick Patterson was working as an associate veterinarian at a rural mixed animal veterinary clinic in Celina, Tennessee. April Smith brought in a Bassett hound named Roscoe with a hurt foot. It really was the cliche “love at first sight” – not only for April & Nick but for Roscoe too.
Nick doctored and cared for Roscoe’s foot, getting him back to health while simultaneously Nick & April began their relationship after many additional visits to vet with Roscoe. ;)
In June 2012 the two tied the knot and were married in the sight of God.
Now they work together on the farm and in helping to manage April’s family businesses where they continue to employ 150 folks in rural Moss, Tennessee.
April and Nick are passionate about the beef industry, especially inspiring and educating young farmers.
In 2020, they welcomed their son Axel to the family!
