Description of farming experience
I have worked at various farms, all in different regions, each of which has given me a uniquely challenging experience. For a couple of years I ended up managing the farm that I first worked as a farmhand at. I also have bought and managed my own flock of sheep. The experience of both working under different mentors and working independently has given me many invaluable insights. Yet I still have much more room to grow and see and embrace a lifetime of learning ahead of me. I have recently moved to and began working at an amazing farm in the Champlain Valley region to continue learning as much as I can.

Additional information
Ever since I started my journey in farming several years ago, I have been committed to learning all I can about what it takes to create a kind of farm that provides healthy and affordable products for local consumers, healthy and well cared for plants and animals in a functional ecosystem and an acceptable and dignified living for the farmers at the same time. No doubt this is a daunting task, but I will commit to it for as long as I live. I have dabbled in other kinds of farming but have the deepest interest and ability in grazing ruminants, as I believe this is the most effective way to achieve said goals at a large scale.
