Doyle "Andy" Perkins Handy Andy fixes everything that breaks on the farm, milks cows, helps with cheese makes and is head of sales and distribution. He left his career as an Audiologist to become a dairy farmer. Maybe not the wisest career choice but one he has come to love. Andy is Co-founder and patriarch of the family and the business. He enjoys a round of Frisbee Golf, ball golf, or any kind of golf when he has time which is pretty much never. |

When we advertised for help, Kai answered the call and we have loved having him on staff. He is a budding mycologist and a great musician too. He plays the Didgeridoo, Handpan and much more. Catch him at the next open mic if you can! |
