Maggie is a fourth-generation steward of Foxhollow Farm, a 1,300-acre biodynamic farm in Kentucky. Along with her mother, Maggie has been working to create a thriving biodynamic farm community since 2005. With a background in business and entrepreneurship, she combines her passion for sustainable farming with her skills in building a successful brand. Maggie's mission is to provide the best-tasting, sustainably-raised grass-fed beef while promoting biodiversity and regenerative farming practices.
