Nick and his family have a productive history as small business owners, investors, and planners.  After getting his construction management degree from Michigan State University in 2009, Nick returned to join the family construction company fulltime as a general contractor and supervisor. Starting in 2013 Nick interned on a sustainable livestock farm in New Jersey gaining invaluable knowledge. Nick is not only handy in the sense of being able to fix things, but in being young-ish while already having many years of experience in running a business, building and maintaining customer relationships, and long-term financial planning. Nick is pleased to be a full-time farmer at BOTL Farm, referred to as the ‘Primary Farmer.’

Nick Weinstock

Owner/Farmer

Nick and his family have a productive history as small business owners, investors, and planners. After getting his construction management degree from Michigan State University in 2009, Nick returned to join the family construction company fulltime as a general contractor and supervisor. This work involved overseeing construction projects from their inception to the last sweeping up after construction is complete. It required highly developed contracting, scheduling, and negotiating skills. The general contractor is responsible for coordinating workflow between tenants, land owners, building engineers, governmental inspectors, and anyone else with a stake in the project. This work also provided Nick with a keen eye for how to go about repairs, upgrades, and improvements along with a good sense of how much these things cost. Coupled with a working knowledge of most construction trades, this provides a valuable asset on a working farm. Starting in 2013 Nick interned on a sustainable livestock farm in New Jersey gaining invaluable knowledge. Nick is not only handy in the sense of being able to fix things, but in being young-ish while already having many years of experience in running a business, building and maintaining customer relationships, and long-term financial planning. Nick is pleased to be a full-time farmer at BOTL Farm, referred to as the ‘Primary Farmer.’
