Florentine Maathuis

Owner & Operations Manager

Nothing is more satisfying than transforming areas that were once filled with unwanted weeds, back into clean, healthy pastures, valuable conservation areas and protected parks.  With eight years working with sheep and goats and my background in Animal Science, Veterinary technician, I emphasize on the vegetation and its response to grazing while combining it with healthy animal husbandry.
