Jenna Markell
Livestock Manager
Jenna grew up in Campbell, a tiny town in upstate NY. As a child she loved helping out on her grandfather’s hobby beef farm, and throughout high school she enjoyed her time working on a dairy farm.
Jenna majored in animal science at Cornell University, and eventually added minors in horticulture and in education to her degree to satisfy her diverse interests. After spending a summer interning at The Barefoot Farmer during college, she fell in love with Tennessee and felt compelled to become involved with local, regenerative food systems. She is grateful to spend each day alongside the livestock, managing their health and welfare.
