Hi, I'm Amanda! My family farms corn and soybeans in Southwest Michigan. I'm also a practicing attorney.
I’m so excited that I was chosen by Culver’s to participate in their #FarmingFridays! Each Friday during July, the restaurant is giving the reigns of their Facebook page, Twitter handle, and Instagram account over to a farmer or farm group. The goal is to give their followers a glimpse into a day on the farm.
Today is my day to tell our farm story! Be sure to follow along – there will be videos, photos, and stories right from our farm.

While the average European may be inconvenienced by drinking a pop with an attached cap because of eco-efforts, farmers’ livelihoods are being destroyed.
Congrats and good luck.
