Hey there, friend!
This week on the podcast I am joined by Emily Mullen, a 24-year-old who has taken the reins of her family’s dairy farm in Butler County, Ohio. Against initial discouragement, Emily transformed the aging farm into a modern facility where they now not only bottle their own milk but also produce milk-based soaps and lotions.
Emily’s journey hasn’t been without challenges, but she’s determined to follow her calling. Growing up on the farm, she was discouraged from pursuing farming as a career by her father, Tim Mullen, who wanted her to have an easier life. Despite this, Emily realized the knowledge gap about food systems and agriculture between her and her peers and decided to take action. She began public speaking through her local FFA chapter and started seeing herself as an authority in the field, setting her sights on the future of the family farm.
Emily’s wealth of knowledge, experience, and perspective is not only refreshing but captivating regardless of your interest in the agriculture industry. I guarantee after listening to this episode you will be inspired and encouraged by her in more than one way. Be sure to visit her Facebook page here to follow her journey.
