Our Story
Farm Ugly started the way most good things do — with a little frustration and a need for change.
After more than two decades in construction, Tie had his fill of city projects — glass buildings, dirt work, dump truck driving, framing homes, and deadlines. It paid the bills, sure, but it didn’t feed the soul. He wanted something real again. Work that got him back outside, surrounded by open land, good dirt, and people who still believed a handshake meant something.
While working alongside his best friend, Ryan Thomson, at Western Sky Ranch, Tie rediscovered what he really loved about the trade — working the land, solving problems, and seeing a fence line stretch across open country instead of city blocks. That hands-on work brought back a sense of pride and purpose he’d been missing. But it also made him realize he was ready to take the lead and do things his own way. So, we went back to the basics — building fences that actually stay up. The kind that keep goats in, hold a line of cattle, and can take a Utah windstorm head-on without flinching. Out here, “good enough” doesn’t cut it. That simple truth is what sparked Farm Ugly.
We’re Tie and Jenn Remund — a husband-and-wife team who’ve spent years building from the ground up. From long days setting posts to late nights figuring out how to turn hard work into something sustainable, we built Farm Ugly around one rule: make it real, make it strong, and make it ours.
The name started as a joke. Nothing about real work looks clean in the middle of it — mud everywhere, shirts torn, sweat and dust in the air. But once the job’s done, that “ugly” turns into something damn good. That’s where our tagline came from: Ugly Never Looked So Good.
What began as a fencing business grew into more — a reflection of the life we live and the humor that keeps us sane. We started creating merch that carried the same raw energy: bold, funny, and unapologetically real. Then came the Farm Ugly Blog, where we share the stories, screw-ups, and small wins that come with rural living, family work, and keeping a business alive on our own terms.
Everything happens on our little piece of land in Morgan, Utah — 5.5 acres of family roots, goats named Salt and Pepper, and dogs that think they’re supervisors. Our kids have grown up beside us, learning what hard work actually means. We tore down old fences, built new ones, and kept the legacy alive — even when it meant hard choices and tougher conversations.
Farm Ugly is more than a name — it’s a reminder. Perfection isn’t the goal — honesty is.
Because life, like a good fence, doesn’t have to be pretty. It just has to hold.
Meet the Remunds The Farm Ugly Family
We’re Tie and Jenn, raising Kodi and Wyatt on the same Utah land that’s been in our family for generations. Farm Ugly grew out of our love for hard work, country living, and building something real together. Every fence, every post, and every project comes from our own two hands — and a shared belief that life doesn’t have to look perfect to be beautiful. Around here, we say Ugly Never Looked So Good — and we mean it.
