The Animal Lover & Mastermind

The driving force behind Piles Ranch, Nikki is the one making all the plans, running events, and keeping things rolling on social media. She’s always bringing home “just one more” animal, dreaming up new ways to share farm life with others, and making sure everything runs smoothly.

The Builder & The Muscle

Owner, builder, and the guy who makes sure all of Nikki’s new animals have a place to stay. He’s usually knee-deep in a new project, building pens or shelters. At events, you’ll find him saying, “I’m not sure, ask my wife,” because while he keeps the farm standing, she keeps the animals coming!

Heavy Lifter

Justin is our go-to guy for parking, setting up and taking down mobile petting zoos, and hauling trailers. If there’s a big job that needs doing, he’s the first to jump in and help.

The Teacher & Bunny Whisperer

Ilea is our animal-loving, education-minded team member who helps with just about everything, including helping with training animals with her daughter. As a teacher, she brings an educational touch to our events, making sure visitors not only enjoy the animals but also learn something new. She’s also our go-to bunny expert! Check our their Bunnies at L&I Bunny Co. On Facebook!

The Animal Trainer & Future Farm Boss

Liv is always hands-on with training and caring for the animals. If there’s an event happening, you can bet she’s there—often dragging her mom along too! She is always eager to ask questions and learn new things and also wants just one more animal to add to the ranch. You’ll often find her holding her favorite chicken Becca!

The Organizer in Orange & The Reluctant Volunteer

You’ll spot Corey right away in his bright orange shirts, notebook in hand, keeping things running smoothly. He’s a key player in handling parking and mobile petting zoo logistics, making sure everything is in order. But let’s be real—he’s mostly here because his wife and daughter drag him to every event!
