Alison and Shane Heinemeier moved to Kingsbury Texas in 2012 from New York City, where they both worked as visual artists and art handlers. They came to Texas to return to the land and start an arts non-profit and sustainable goat farm. As they were busy building their arts organization, they were called back into the art handling field by friends in the South Central Texas area who needed their particular skill set. They have over 40 years of combined experience in the field, and have built and packed crates in New York City, and at museums around the country and in Puerto Rico, Mexico and Spain. Alison specializes in crate interiors, creating structures that can safely protect from vibration and movement as the crate travels to its destination. Shane and our nephew Alex build beautiful and strong boxes in our crate shop to protect the precious items within. After several years of commuting to Austin and San Antonio for work, they decided to build their own crate shop on the farm in Kingsbury. Now they can milk goats in the morning, and make crates in the middle of the day!
