Nights and weekends pay off for 2nd generation shepherdess

It has taken more than a decade for one young farmer to make her way back to the family farm full-time.

Elaine Palm grew up on a sheep farm in West Branch, Michigan, and knew since her first job after college that’s where she needed to end up.

“My last summer in D.C., I was driving home about every three weeks to help with hay harvest, and I just knew that was not a sustainable plan for me,” she shares.
