Brad Van Bochove grew up on a farm and would have rather been there than at school any day! He was often found helping his dad with the fieldwork and livestock chores. Many evenings were spent in the roping arena. After high school Brad joined the family manufacturing business and put the horses aside for quite a few years. Early one spring day he put his young daughters up on horseback. He started them out in a small pen in the cattle shed that was just big enough for the horse to make a figure eight. Ever since then the girls have been hooked! Brad and his family have spent the last 10 years or so chasing down the rodeo trail. That all ended when the oldest went off to college suddenly there was more free time!

Which brings us to the fall of 2023, a building came up for sale in a small town nearby that caught Brad’s eye. He introduced the idea to his wife, Angie and daughters, Tori and Rayna. They all brainstormed what new business Inwood needed. Their passion was to open a western boutique, but they also kept hearing feedback from the community of the need for a coffee shop. They decided to join the two ideas which developed into Rustic Oak Brands Coffee & Boutique.
