Ashlyn Ramsey, 2023 Intern A little from Ashlyn who is here for the summer as a paid intern on the farm......."My name is Ashlyn Ramsey and I didn't take my first steps onto a farm until the age of fourteen. Upon being around beef cattle at my high school's farm, I discovered a newfound appreciation for agriculture. Now a current Animal Science major at NC State University, I aspire to become a large animal veterinarian and primarily work with cattle. I am excited to learn all about the ins and outs of dairy production throughout my time here at Looking Glass Creamery. " |
