Working on a 100 head herd rotational grazing herdshare dairy farm operation both independently and as a team. We produce dairy products (fluid milk, butter, and cream), 100% grass-fed/finished beef, free-range chicken eggs, pastured pork and poultry, seasonal produce, and honey as some of our farm products. Our farming practices do not use herbicides or pesticides. We have recently added a small greenhouse operation for produce and plan to expand.
