Testimonials

  • Oaken has taken worry from my life (when it comes to landpartners). I get notified by Oaken of all upcoming events, people I have not yet reached out to, contract renewals, and payments. Not only do I not miss out on anything, but it frees my mind to focus on getting more work done!

    —Kassi Rowland (Tom Farms)

  • Our goal is to put things in place now that will help make an easier transition for our children down the road. Frank has spent the last thirty plus years building relationships within our community and finding a software system that will help us keep track of renewal dates, birth dates and other important anniversaries is what we were looking for

    —Dot Hopkins (Hopkins Farms)

  • “...And so one of the things when I was talking to them (Momentis Family Office) is that we have this farm management software that we can keep track of what's going on and and not let things slip by because the other option really is if I didn't have Oaken, I need a couple of assistants. So, I'm saving my company money by having Oaken because really it it is my personal assistant.”

    —Alexis Stevens (Momentis Family Office)

  • "Getting our data onto the Oaken platform was simple, and the benefits were immediate: accurate, timely, and easily accessible information both in the office and on the road. We see increased accuracy in payment management, renewal information, and overall peace of mind in tracking land partner communications. It has really allowed us more accurately track and manage information internally with all the changes that can arise year to year. Oaken has proven to be the perfect scalable solution as we integrate new business units and continue to grow our family business."

    —Ellie Barley (Star Rock Farms)
