My husband, Patrick Thome, is from a family of farmers. Both of his parents grew up on dairy farms in Wisconsin. One of them is now owned by the third generation and is proudly a part of the Organic Valley Coop. 

I know farmers are so busy tending to their crops, equipment & machinery, land, livestock, and of course, their families, that it can be difficult for them to find time for self-care. I also know farmers tend to be independent and self-sufficient, and aren't always comfortable asking for help. So when I attended the Food Fair & Farmer's Market in Reedsburg earlier this month, I was glad to learn about the Farm Angel Network. If you know a farmer who might benefit from the services the Farmer Angel Network provides, please share this information.
