Ashlyn Bristle co-owns and operates Rebop Farm, a diversified and pasture based livestock and dairy operation on a hill farm in Brattleboro with her husband, Abraham. She has been farming for just over a decade, and holds degrees in education and sustainable food and farming. Managing the farm’s soil for the health and well being of the surrounding community, the livestock and people that live on and eat from the farm, and the farm’s viability has become the foundational principle that drives her decision making.
