Six
generations
on the prairie

Don and Connie are Galahad through and through — both grew up in farming families in the area, and together they built a life rooted in hard work, community, and the land. Over the decades they watched McMahon Farms grow from a modest operation into what it is today, and their contributions to both the farm and the Galahad community never stopped. Whether it was a cemetery cleanup, a community supper, or lending a hand wherever one was needed, Don and Connie always showed up. Don passed away in the spring of 2025, leaving behind a legacy as strong and steady as the land he loved. Connie now resides in Forestburg but remains a cherished part of farm life, visiting often and bringing her famous pie to the field come harvest — a tradition the whole crew looks forward to every year.

Stuart and Joanne have made the McMahon farmyard their home and their heart. Stuart has spent his life farming this land and giving back to the industry that shaped him — serving on the boards of the Battle River Research Group and the Galahad Agricultural Society. Joanne has been an early childhood educator in Flagstaff County for 36 years, beginning her career in 1993 and spending 24 of those years teaching in the public system. Over that time she has taught hundreds of children and become a true staple in the community — known as much for her dedication in the classroom as for her tireless community volunteering. In addition to her teaching career, Joanne founded the 100 Women Who Care Flagstaff group, brought Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to Flagstaff County, and continues to run several early childhood development programs in the county including the Building Blocks Family Literacy Program and Busy Bees Early Childhood Learning. Together Stuart and Joanne are proud parents of three boys — Cole, Tucker, and Layton — and have built something rare: a life that is equal parts purposeful and proud, right here in rural Alberta.

Cole and Erinn's story started in 4-H, where the two first crossed paths before heading off to the University of Saskatchewan together — Cole to pursue Agribusiness and Erinn Civil Engineering. Raised on a cattle and grain farm near Airdrie, Erinn brought her own deep roots in agriculture to the relationship. After university, she went on to earn both a Master of Structural Engineering and a Master of Business Administration, and now works as a bridge engineer out of Red Deer. Cole, meanwhile, followed his passion back to the family farm, spending three years at ATB Financial as a lending underwriter before returning to McMahon Farms full time. Cole also sits on the Flagstaff County Agriculture Service Board and is a member of the Galahad Lions. The two were married in 2025 and moved into the main farmhouse that same year. In February 2026 they welcomed their first son, Jake — the sixth generation of McMahons to call this land home.

Tucker didn't stray far from his roots. After earning his Agriculture Management diploma from Olds College, he came straight back to Galahad — working as Facility Manager for the Battle River Railway while keeping one eye firmly on the horizon of farming full time. Trishanna Klatt completed her Veterinary Medical Receptionist diploma at Olds College and now works at Iron Creek Veterinary Hospital in Sedgewick. Both eager and capable, McMahon Farms looks forward to welcoming Tucker and Trishanna to the farm when the time comes.
