Ray Davis

Artis Ray Davis, Dad, with Mom’s help until she passed then Audry’s, built the home, fields, and pastures of which Sundown Farms is one part. He worked full-time for 40+ years as an engineer for the telephone company and then 25+ years on the farm after retirement.

Dad occasionally chuckled and said he thought he should name the farm “Sundown Farms” as we were always working at sundown. Because something always needed to be done after he arrived home from his office in town–or Saturday was too short. He always pushed himself to get more done.

He loved the land almost as much as he loved his family. To honor that love we will carry on the tradition of the land providing food, working to make a better America, and supporting the Christian life he practiced daily.
