Meet the Team

As proprietors of Summerfield Farms and founders of Summerfield Villages, Stephanie Quayle and David Couch share a common love of the land. They also share a deep commitment to food health and the pursuit of overall wellness of mind, body and spirit. The husband and wife team revel in the opportunity to be a part of building a community grounded in healthy living and human connection. Their vision is for the farm to be a valued and trusted part of your family’s most precious celebrations and memories, as well as your source for the healthiest choices on your family’s table.

Stephanie, a country music singer/songwriter originally from Bozeman, Montana, and David, a real estate developer from Asheboro, North Carolina, were both raised in small communities with close ties to the farming culture. It wasn’t until their journeys took them away from home, and eventually toward each other that they both began to seriously question the high volume/highly processed/low-cost food production cycle that has dominated the food chain for the last 60 years in the United States.

David’s first experience with cattle was as an enterprising young teenager purchasing unwanted bull calves from the local dairies and raising them on a bottle from birth. Later in life, his love of cattle that had developed as a teen manifested in his quest to determine the origin of his food. He began raising 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef without the use of any growth hormones, antibiotics – or any other non-natural methods for their growth and production.

For Stephanie, her music career has taken her on the road sharing stages with LoCash, Trace Atkins, Granger Smith, Chase Rice and countless others. She also has appeared in films and on national television on Fox and Friends to tout her #1 music video on CMT’s Music 12-Pack Countdown for her song “Drinking with Dolly“. Far from her days of mucking horse stalls and working on her family’s bison ranch in Montana, the Rebel Engine recording artist’s touring life has strengthened her interest in and passion for the power of the restorative benefits of healthy food. “Growing up on a ranch in Montana I never questioned where my food came from. I always knew! Playing music while traveling from city to city really sparked my curiosity and the need to find out what I was eating. So often we choose convenience over quality and health benefits”.

Planting their roots in Summerfield, North Carolina, Stephanie and David’s common interest in and commitment to food health, building community and making beautiful memories is a driving principle in the evolution of Summerfield Farms. Whether it’s the organic memories that transpire in the sophisticated event spaces or the organic produce cultivated by hand in the garden, Stephanie and David have built a place where all are welcome to come, enjoy and make memories while nourishing the body, mind and spirit.

A Note from Stephanie & David
Summerfield Farms and Summerfield Villages bring convenience and ultra-high quality to our family, friends and all those interested in the relentless pursuit of fresh, organic, small-batch, hand crafted local food products. Our 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef contains no added hormones, steroids or antibiotics. It comes to you under our system of complete control and source verification. We developed the term “conception to consumption” to describe our program where we and our select ranch partners are the sole sources of the cattle in our herd. Additionally, we are co-owners of the local processing facility where our beef is processed and packaged. Our offering brings you and your family complete source, processing and handling verification combined with a “two-deep chain of title” (you the end consumer and us) to provide you the closest thing to raising your own quality grass-fed beef.

Summerfield Villages will provide front porch living, tree lined streets, sidewalks to encourage outdoor living, miles of trails, housing choices and sustainable practices to serve generations to come.
