Additional information
Not growing up in the dairy industry as soon as I got my foot in the door I was hooked. I later roped my fiancé into it. After graduating highschool in 2022, I immediately moved to Vermont to live and work on a dairy farm that practiced sustainable agriculture with a focus on supporting the surrounding community and not overreaching in order to fulfill that sustainable goal. We are searching for a place to call our own, where we can raise our kids the way they should be raised..in a barn! Working on others dairy farms has shown me this is my life passion, and to someday make my own farm to call home is my ultimate goal. Thank you
