Support Staff
Picture for attention only!
Our strength is our people and we have one of the best people leading our support team. Janelle is a loyal and gifted worker. She maintains the stable daily, tends to the horses, and the place shines! She can be found, after the last pebble is swept, behind the camera lends and many of our home photos are hers. Janelle has her side-kick, Beta, keeping her company in the early dark mornings (hence the photo). As an avid dog enthusiast, Janelle is a trusted and dependable dog walker, and puts in another full day after her shift at the farm. If you see a dog pack in the hay fields out back, know that this city gal dogwalker has her canine clients enjoying true country life, while their owners are office bound and occupied.
