Description of farming experience
I started production vegetable farming in 2015 and worked on small and large scale operations in Vermont for over 5 years. I graduated from UVM with a degree in Food Systems and Soil Science.
In 2022, I started working on a small educational farm, first as an educator and then as livestock manager which is my current role. We run a raw micro dairy for our cow and goat herds, in addition to raising chickens and rabbits.

Tenure arrangement description
I'm looking to work with pasture raised livestock, with a strong pull towards grass-fed dairy and meat. I'm open to the many forms this could take and gaining proficiency in any current systems.
I'd like an opportunity to deepen my skills in pasture management, animal processing, tractor maintenance and hay production,
