Seller Story
Langsem Farms the Estate of Ken & Judy Klosterman
Baking, magic and thoroughbred racing somehow mix seamlessly together among the picturesque horse farm that Ken and Judy Klosterman built together in 1981. They were not only known for their prosperous family baking business, but the unique hobbies which were vital aspects of the rich lives they led. Affectionately referred to as the Baking Barron, third generation baker Ken Klosterman guided the family owned midwestern baking company through impressive growth and major partnerships with McDonalds, Arby’s and a host of restaurants and institutions big and small. Klosterman was deeply connected to industry leading organizations like Variety Bakers of America and the Ohio Bakers Association.
