I’ve just started to get to know a great and interesting lady, the owner of a local organic dairy farm (Snowville Creamery) that is one of the most successful businesses in the area, especially in an industry that is notoriously difficult to profit from. A love for land and animal is evident in many aspects of her life, and a respect but utilization for the circle of life is also present. Her lifestyle is especially relevant in these increasingly turbulent economic times, with the entire core of her sustenance based on her capabilities to produce, as well as her connections with neighbors who do what she can’t do. Skills like this could be very important in the future, setting folks up for less reliance on the unknowns and more on the people you know, trust, and surround yourself with.

A favorite past time is horseriding.

Lunchtime.
