Who We Are

Some History

In 1998, Caroline "Polly" Keller Winter founded Keller Enterprises with the vision that it could be an enterprise cooperatively, imaginatively, and productively run by subsequent generations of the Keller family. We honor her vision through our Purpose, Mission, and Values, which guide and instruct all we do at Keller Enterprises.

"While the breadth and scope of Keller Enterprises have grown and changed since its founding in 1998, it remains true to the core family values on which it was based; stewardship, industriousness, responsible citizenship, transparency, respect, courage. It delights me that the second and third generations have new ideas and have exercised their responsibility in a capable manner."
– Polly Keller Winter

Polly passed away in 2014. She lived for much of her life on Inglewood, the family farm in Central Louisiana. Today the farm remains a core part of Keller Enterprises, and continues Polly's legacy of learning and growing, always with an eye toward the future.
