Tinedale Farms, Wrightstown, is a fourth-generation family farm operated by Carl and Sharon Theunis, and their four sons and wives: Scott and Cindy Theunis, Todd and Jackie Theunis, Jim and Carie Theunis, and Mike Theunis. The milking herd consists of 1,850 cows and 150 springing heifers. Cropping acres total 4,500 where corn, soybeans, alfalfa and wheat are grown. The Theunis family members are believers in reinvesting in their operation and appropriately incorporating new technology. In recent years, they made changes to their barns that have helped improve cow comfort and milk quality.
