In November 2008, Jim and Leigh Ann Byerly purchased Farwood Bar & Grill. Leigh Ann came to Farwood to 'temporarily' manage the restaurant for her friends, the Walkers, in April 2008. It soon became obvious that Leigh Ann's love for food and hospitality was a good match for Farwood. She spent over 15 years in the restaurant and catering business before taking over Farwood. Jim, is the Special Ed teacher at Plaza School in Orland. He also runs a side business, 'Byerly Concrete'. The couple lives in Orland and has three sons.
