Our mission:  To strengthen entrepreneurship in Kentucky’s forty-one tobacco-dependent counties.  We want the region to become a hot bed for rural entrepreneurship.

We invest in grass-roots leaders and provide them with skills, tools, and the vision to build a solid network of entrepreneurial leaders, advocates and coaches.  We believe our volunteer leaders can open up their communities to fresh ideas and regional cooperation for entrepreneurship.  Our partners include the Center for Rural Development in Somerset, Kentucky and agencies such as the Small Business Development Center and others.

Timothy Robert Auch (1947-2014)

Timothy R. Auch, born in 1947, businessman and entrepreneur, died on August 6, 2014 of cancer in Lebanon, Kentucky.

Tim, the son of Walter Edward and Cynthia Murphy Auch, was raised in Greenwich, CT and Grosse Pointe, MI.

He was a graduate of the Brunswick School, Class of 1966, and Providence College, Class of 1971. Mr. Auch worked in executive positions with Georgia Pacific, Lilly Tulip and Toyoda Gosei.

Tim founded and owned Serenity Farms in Raywick, Kentucky. He was a proud graduate of the Kentucky Entrepreneurial Coaches Institute. He, then, often brought would-be entrepreneurs to his farm for educational purposes.

Commissioned a Kentucky Colonel, Tim was honored for his pioneering work with the state’s alpaca industry. He thoroughly enjoyed western art, music and golf.

His wife, Kathleen Nolan Auch, predeceased him. He is survived by his brothers Walter E. Auch, Jr. (Lynne) of Greenwich, CT and Terrance H. Auch of Chicago; stepdaughter Jennifer Lupinacci (Thomas) of Stamford, CT; step granddaughters Elizabeth, Abigail and Charlotte; nephew Walter E. “Ted” Auch III (Julia) of Cleveland Heights, Ohio; niece Catharine A. Watson (Matthew) of Stamford, CT and two great nephews, Jack Watson and Michael Auch. He was dearly loved. His sense of humor and sweet and gentle nature will be missed by all who knew him.

A memorial service will be held at the family’s summer home on Crystal Lake, MI.

The family requests that memorial gifts be made in Tim’s name to:
