Customer reviews

Discover what our clients think about our service

Greta and I regularly chat about all things farmstead related. From new farm ventures, and animal health to regenerative agriculture and balancing family and the farm. She has a wealth of knowledge on many topics from her own personal experience and she is very well read - she always has a book or a video recommendation if you need one. Recently Greta gave me some great information on lice management for my goat herd and free choice mineral requirements for my sheep! I will surely be using her services again and again. Highly recommend her consultations!

There are a billion YouTube videos to watch about raising chickens, but nothing beats personalized, locally relevant coaching from a knowledgeable livestock expert like Greta! Just one hour onsite at our farm with Greta, her creative recommendations, enthusiasm about regenerative agriculture, and step-by-step instructions was the key to moving us to incorporate livestock into our market garden. Follow-up coaching tips were so helpful as our chicks grew and were put onto pasture. Three words to describe Greta's consult? Essential, enthusiastic, down-to-earth, doable!

Hi, I'm Greta, your local farmer and livestock start-up consultant

We've read all the books and watched all the videos till our heads feel like they're going to pop right off, sigh. Nothing will ever replace one-on-one with a real human being who has gone before us. Ask me how I know!

To share one's unique experience while helping guide another on their own personal adventure in animal husbandry is such a gift and cannot be replaced by millions of searches on the internet.

That's why we want to help you get this big idea you have in your head, and probably on a few pages in your notebook, along with doodles and other scraps of information, and make an actionable plan to get this thing up and running!

It's about time you stop dreaming and start doing, let's make this happen together!
