Elena Miller-ter Kuile - Cultural Legacy on a Colorado Sheep Ranch
from Regeneration Rising · host Regeneration Rising
Shepherdess, mother, and generational farmer Elena Miller- ter Kuile tells us more about the history of her family's operation, Cactus Hill Farm in La Jara, CO. She explains how she revived the sheep operation and developed a fiber business, with eyes on a direct-market lamb enterprise. Her family also helps run the farm operation with alfalfa, grains, and vegetables. Motherhood on the ranch has presented challenges, as well as sexism and racism, but Elena encourages other young people in regenerative agriculture to keep pursuing their dreams, and ignore the haters. Content Warning: We get a little graphic in our conversation regarding animal and human birthing processes. (But it really gave us a good laugh!) Find Elena and Cactus Hill Farm on Facebook and Instagram.
