It's All About 'Morals Over Money' at The Farmyard

Send us Fan MailShe is a passionate farm entrepreneur from Maryland…driven to preserve her farmland and build a thriving Farmyard business. Renee Wilson was born to a teacher and dairy farmer, she was a 4H member and then earned an education in TV production and marketing during college…but her heart and passion was in agriculture. She returned to her roots and leveraged her skills to identify how to secure and access land as a young farmer.  It started as a seasonal roadside farmstand that has evolved into what she now calls The Farmyard, a full year farm, operating on 40 acres.  Renee opens her farm to the public to give positive and real agriculture  experiences, connects consumers with farmers, and give kids the same experiences she had as a kid regardless of their income level…..for free.  However, she is running a business and generates revenue from riding lessons, Horsemanship programs, field trips, and birthday parties. Renee’s passion has not gone unnoticed.  She reveals a story about someone who had an impact on her early on…someone who’s kindness stuck with her.  It was the first time she told this story publicly.  Renee’s story inspired me to take action.  I did a little research on the person Renee mentions and might have a small follow-up to her story…please listen until the very end!  Renee is a force in her community and has an innate ability to connect, involve and give back. You will love her energy and passion….I certainly did.  Enjoy my conversation with Renee Wilson.
