About the Guest:
Ben Beichler and his wife Kristen own and operate Creambrook Farm in Middlebrook Va. The farm specializes in direct marketing 100% grass-fed raw milk herd shares that are lab tested. Ben is working on developing a completely outdoor system for their Jersey cows where they graze during the summer and enjoy stored grass during the winter. They market to their members primarily through social media and other digital methods. When not working on the farm, Ben can be found hunting groundhogs, fishing, and scheming the next big farm improvement.
