Meet Jim and Cindy Sarpalius, a dynamic couple who have been happily married for 40 years. Throughout their marriage, they have shared a deep love for animals, beginning with the adoption of a Corgi cross that graced their lives for an incredible 18 years. This experience sparked their passion for the Corgi breed, which they wholeheartedly embraced.

As proud empty nesters with two grown children, Jim and Cindy purchased their farm 13 years ago, where they successfully established a blueberry U-pick operation from small plants. When it came time to welcome another dog into their lives, they were certain they wanted a Corgi.

Their beloved Stella May joined the family in November 2020, and in 2024, at just 4 years old, she brought joy to the farm by giving birth to 11 beautiful puppies. Jim and Cindy are dedicated to fostering a nurturing environment for both their animals and their community.
