Hello! Steve and Linda Rogers here!
We hope you are enjoying our website and seeing a bit about our farm and what we do.

I have worked as a technical editor and document manager for engineering firms; worked in the New Mexico State Senate and State Supreme Court; owned and managed my own small businesses and co-authored butterfly breeding manuals with Nigel Venters and Paul Chesterfield. I have enjoyed serving on the Board of Directors for the International Butterfly Breeders Association for a number of years.

We have traveled together, and lived in many wonderful places like Santa Fe, New Mexico; Boulder, Colorado; Punaluu, Hawaii; New York; Houston, Texas; and now on our beautiful little Shangri-La farm just south of Dallas, Texas. (Ever seen Frank Capra’s film “The Lost Horizon”? This is our “life after kids!”) We have two grown sons, William and Matthew. Matt often works with us on the farm and loves the dogs and puppies. |
Steve has designed and built our “pole barn” style house as well as all the other structures and outbuildings on our place, The house is 90% constructed from recycled materials, including lumber purchased from a house (1938), as it was being demolished. The gleaned lumber included loblolly pine siding, hardwood and pine flooring.

We love our farm and our work!
There is simply nothing better than doing what you love,
with the people you love.

Timshell Farm is 13 acres, just south of Dallas about an hour, in sunny, Africa-hot north central Texas. Here we raise the perfect family pet, our quality Goldendoodle puppies, along with 150 organic pecan trees, and continue to work on our pole-barn style house, barns, and greenhouses. We raise Monarch and Painted Lady butterflies for release at weddings and special events.
| The other sections of our website show the books we have for sale, such as commercial butterfly farming manuals and the newest “Really Big Butterfly Coloring Book” which are all co-authored by Linda Rogers, Nigel Venters and Paul Chesterfield. We are active in the International Butterfly Breeders Association and the Texas Pecan Growers Association. We are proud to be listed as an Owner-Recommended Breeder on the www.goldendoodles.com site for quality providers of Goldendoodles. |
