Inspirational Story of a Seventh Generation Farmer - Katie grew up by her Dad’s side, learning how to drive the hay truck before she could reach the pedals while simultaneously looking out the windshield, and mastering the art of stacking hay before she graduated from middle school. After earning a dual degree in International Business from Northeastern University and Dublin City University, she took off to California to pursue a degree in marketing. Four years in, while constantly trying to get her Dad to try out new farming techniques from 3,000 miles away, she finally admitted to herself it was time to move home and rebuild the family farm.
After a summer internship at Polyface Farm in Virginia, she moved home and began building out her dreams with an emphasis on being a steward of the land, giving her animals a happy life, and providing nourishing food and community to her customers.
