Morning Meadow was established in 1998 as a registered trade name for Green Pastures, Inc. Earlier in 1998, Green Pastures, Inc. was incorporated in Louisiana as a private company by Ralph and Fern Owens. Both Ralph and Fern have extensive rental property management and ownership experience dating back to 1984. Their challenge was to develop a new rental property business from the ground up. Strong market competition, coupled with their personal goals, dictated that their business needed to be more than simply a “me too” operation.
