Greetings, I’m Berta

Hello everyone,
I’m currently a student at the University of Massachusetts but I will be graduating in just a few more months. I’m orignially from up by Burlington VT, but I spent some time working for Heifer International’s Overlook Farm in Rutland, MA where I got more involved in sustainable farming.
That was the kick in the pants I needed to get me going back to school for a BS in Small Farm Management.
While in school I got involved with a local vegetable farm where I jokingly promised I would train any draft animal they were willing to purchase. I have many years experience with riding horses and expected I could teach a pony or mule to pull. Well, the farm took me up on the offer and purchased a set of Jersey Calves.
2 years later I’m having a ball with the team (Red and Blue are their names) and haven’t thought twice about horses in a ages. When I finish school I’m heading out with my partner to seek my fortune by getting dirty and hopefully have the chance to train a team for myself someday.
