About Our Family

We have been married since 1999. We celebrated our 24th anniversary this year!! We are a large family. We have 8 children, blessings from God, ranging in age from 23 to 5.

Grant is a disabled veteran who was forced to retire early in 2013 due to being injured in Iraq in 2005. In 2016 we used our life savings to purchase our retirement home – including 40 acres in the country and an apple orchard, hence the name “AppleHurst”… Hurst means “a wooded hill”, and you drive through the apple trees to get to our house at the top of the hill. =)

This Spring our 2 oldest were married & how we also have 2 son-in-laws! 💙

May 2023 – our 2nd daughter’s wedding – includes Martha’s parents (Opa & Oma), & our 2 sons-in-law
