Michigan AF Podcast

A mat maid spreading truth about agriculture


Listen Later

Meet Annie Link, a multi-generational dairy farmer who milks about 2,000 cows and raises crops in West Michigan. Her family’s farm started in 1915 when Annie’s great-grandfather married the farmer’s daughter. She and longtime friend (and podcast host) Carla visit about:

  • The inspiration behind hosting tours for neighbors and other visitors
  • A business transition that allows for more community engagement
  • An adorable adopt-a-cow program
  • A sports legacy that is continuing and an explanation of a “mat maid”
  • Training…or not…for marathon running
  • Where an obsession with cheese has led Annie
  • A life-changing experience
  • The things she appreciates about Michigan
  • A surprising detail about her lifestyle…or should that be hairstyle?
  • The best advice she’s been given in life
  • What her learning goals are and how they fit around doing laundry
