Welcome, glad you’ve found us!
With a love for food and being outside under the sun, Alyssa became increasingly interested in agriculture in her early 20s. She had a potbelly pig for a few years during her childhood, but it wasn’t until after college that she found herself on a farm. After one season of farming, she was hooked, though she wasn’t quite ready to admit a career in agriculture. Now, Alyssa’s passion for agriculture, from raising sheep, moving fence, growing vegetables, harvesting flowers, has far surpassed what she imagined as a 22 year old. Caring for livestock, improving soil, providing nutritious food and having a positive impact on the land drive Alyssa through the long days and sometimes tiring or difficult moments.
Alyssa grew up in California, went to college in Boston, spent some time in northern Vermont, and has called the Roaring Fork Valley home since 2015.
Prior to Marigold Livestock Co., Alyssa spent many years farming at ACES at Rock Bottom Ranch. Through her time there, she gained a strong passion for the land and dreamt up Marigold Livestock Co.
