Farmer, gardener and beekeeper

I am an owner and employee of one of my family’s farms, Riverview LLP where I work in educational and community outreach. I am also a beekeeper on an individual level, avid gardener, and lover of all things agriculture. I am a member of several organizations such as American Farm Bureau Federation, National Corn Growers Association, National Farmers Union (United States), National FFA Organization and MN Agri-Women.

 

 

Yes, we farm with my parents and brother. My husband also does seed sales and precision farming sales.

I think conversations are one the most important things we can do in agriculture! Animal welfare, GMO's and antibiotics are topics that I LOVE to talk about with others. As an Agriculture Teacher for 14 years prior to now, I enjoy teaching others and am not afraid to have a discussion with anyone on any topic, even the tough questions.

I grew up on a family crop farm, where my husband now farms. I also work and am an owner at Riverview LLP, a large scale dairy, beef, and crop farm. I have the unique perspective of having experience with both a small and larger farm and how, while they both operate differently, essentially have the same goal - to provide healthy and wholesome food for consumers.
