I grew up on a farm, showed dairy cows when I was in high school, studied Animal Science at Smith Voc, and worked on several farms raising llamas, goats and alpacas before I came to Prospect Meadow. And I’ve since learned at least as much from the farm hands as I have brought to them. They are an incredible group of caring, curious, nurturing people who always want to know how I am, how my dog is; and they are eager to learn what I share with them about farming. They’ve taught me how to communicate very specifically, to include important details, and to check to make sure I’ve been understood—not just to assume. And they’ve taught me how to slow down, take a breath, think.
