The Barney York Ranch - Kelsey Baker “the rancher’s daughter”
Hey y'all, my name is Kelsey Baker. I am a wife, Mama to Monroe, Rivers & Truett, a former elementary teacher and love living life at the Barney York Ranch. We’ve lived full-time at the ranch for 3 years. There is nothing better than raising our children in a ranching atmosphere. I believe in living a life full of Grace - speaking words of kindness, serving others and exercising love.
'Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.' Proverbs 16:24
Heath & I moved to Prescott (my hometown) in the summer of 2017. We welcomed our first daughter Monroe in June 2018. In December 2018 we were presented with the opportunity to move a historical 1918 Sears craftman home located on Long Meadow Ranch (10miles from the Barney York Ranch). The big move was made and we spent over a year remodeling it to make it ours. HUGE thanks to my amazing Dad, Tiny. Since then we have added another darling daughter Rivers in May 2021. The cherry to our sundae and little boy who completed our family Truett Kenson joined us January 2023. Life is busy but full of fun and love, we are incredibly blessed!
I look forward to riding through life with you on the Barney York!
XO - Kelsey
