The Raw Milk Institute (RAWMI) sends a warm welcome to Kelsey Barefoot, who has now joined our Board of Directors!
Kelsey is a former Critical Care Nurse who quit her nursing job to pursue her passion for a healthier life for herself, her family, and her community. Kelsey has been an Admin Assistant for RAWMI for a year, helping with raw milk data collection, answering inquiries from our website, and mentoring farmers who are working on becoming Listed by RAWMI. Kelsey is a natural fit to join the RAWMI Board of Directors and she brings an additional farmer’s perspective to the table.
At Kelsey’s own micro-dairy herdshare, The Barefoot Cow, she tests her milk frequently in her on-farm lab. Kelsey’s farm became Listed by RAWMI last Fall, and her experience has been a great asset in assisting other farmers who are pursuing the production of low-risk raw milk. Kelsey’s farm is an extension of the generational family farm, as she was mentored by her parents at Jewel Hill Farms, another RAWMI Listed farm.
