We are Hope & Daryl Stogryn. We've lived at Rising Sun Farm in the rolling hills of Northumberland County Ontario since 2001. Rising Sun is a 100 acre farm with a few chickens, cats, a dog, and several thousand Christmas trees. Daryl & Hope have been actively involved in youth ministry both locally and internationally for many years. Hope is a full-time Grandma, farm manager, crafter, and cookie-baker. Daryl's office as Director of Global Engagement for YFC/Canada is located in our home as well.
Our oldest son Nathan is an automotive technician at Belleville Toyota. He lives in Wooler with his wife Sarah (Hedgecraft Herbals), 18 yo River, 13 year old Max, and 9yo Lutka.
