ABOUT PARADISE ACRES RANCH

Meet Our Team

Bev and Gerd

The owners Bev and Gerd Voigt are a couple who have always enjoyed nature and animals. They have enjoyed transforming the Ranch from bare land with ‘open fields & old barbed wire fences’ to the wonderful Horse Ranch it is today.  Bev has been a horseperson her entire life and has built a couple of other houses and horse-properties. She is also a Realtor. Gerd has adjusted well from his previous career as a Chef  and owning his own Restaurants. Both have invested their passions into the Ranch and enjoy sharing it and the horses and with others.

“We are quite a ‘relaxed facility’ and love having people enjoy these wonderful animals that roam and graze freely on our Ranch,” Bev says
