“I got told ‘no’ a lot,” Amy shares as she reflects on the years she spent getting her value-added dairy business off the ground. In this episode of Cow-Side Conversations, Amy Brickner of Stover Farms and Destiny Dairy Bar in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania opens up about her journey to bottling her own milk and how the times she heard ‘no’ only fueled her to fulfill her destiny: create a space for her community to see where their food comes from. With a herd of 80 milking cows, a Wagyu dairy cross beef herd, and an on-farm store where she sells her milk, ice cream, beef and more, Amy shares how she goes the extra mile to connect with her customers. She also talks about how she balances herd work with the value-added business, the vulnerability that comes with opening her farm to the public, and how she continues to dream big to move her business forward.
