Brittany Hemme

Brittany Hemme, alongside her husband and his family, owns and operates a family dairy and on-farm creamery in central Missouri, near the I-70 corridor. The family farm added its cheese creamery as her husband and his brothers returned to the business.

Hemme grew up on a cattle ranch in North Dakota and works both on the farm and off as an advisor for a nonprofit that leads educational events for local farmers and ranchers. Small changes to management – like planting cover crops, then grazing them – proved to Hemme and her husband's family that regenerative management could be their solution to rising costs and low soil fertility.

In addition to her career and work on the farm, Hemme volunteers at the Santa Fe AgriLeaders and local farmers markets where the family’s creamery products are sold.
