Ray is the resident data and equipment guy.  If you need something measured or calculated or repaired, Ray's your man!  With deep roots in beautiful Kansas topsoil (which he keeps reminding us is 20 feet deep!!), Ray draws on longstanding family connections to the soil.  His first crop as a child was Sweet William and he has graduated to garlic, raspberries and much more!  He worked with Los Poblanos Organics in Albuquerque, NM and Heidi's Raspberries in Corrales, NM to gain experience that he is applying here at Plum Granny Farm.  He's not bad with computers, either!

Cheryl is the resident creative type -- please don't make her measure too much!  She is returning to her family farm to transition it from a tobacco-growing history to a new life as a vibrant organic farm.  Although she isn't too good at planting with a measuring tape, she still enjoys being out and getting covered in dirt and a hard day's work in the field.  Hoeing raspberries is much more fun than hoeing tobacco!

Mocha is enjoying her new life as a farm dog -- it's quite interesting and never too boring.  Her favorite thing is to find a comfortable perch (or is it porch) and survey her domain.  Ahhhh....the life!

Yam is the best known cow in the county -- maybe even the state.  When we tell people where our farm is, they stop and say, "Isn't that where there is that really pretty cow?"  Yep, that's our Yam.  She is a cow that thinks she's a dog -- although her achy hips and legs keep her from trotting around the way she used to.  Her name comes from the little pudgy puppy in 101 Dalmatians -- the one that said "I'm hungry...I really yammmmmm..." or something like that.  Yam was an orphan and Cheryl's dad had to bottle-feed her.  Cheryl was in town shortly after she was born -- and this little tiny calf was just like that puppy when it came to her bottle...hence the name.  Yam wears Badge #1 with honor since she predates all of us at Plum Granny Farm!
