NYFC is working with five inspiring dairy farmers from around the country to share their stories as they cut their teeth managing or working on dairy operations.

Some are newly transitioned from apprenticeships and excited to be building their own operations and others grew up living and breathing the family farm and are following the family legacy.  Special thanks to Stonyfield Farm, Profits for the Planet, the non-profit wing of Stonyfield Farm, for supporting this year’s Bootstrap Blog.
