AVL local, born and raised. Mom of 3 human children and mom of 30 non human children 🙃. I’m a night shift nurse with 15+ years of health care experience. Owner and Operator of Middle Fork Farms, where we grow and sell organic fruits and veggies, produce local honey and organic, free range eggs. I pride myself on my ethical breeding of AKC Golden Retrievers and over the last 5 years of breeding and whelping I have truly lived by “I’m working to support my dogs; my dogs do not support me!” Im passionate about educating myself and others on the history of the breed, as well as canine health, and genetics and structure. I prioritize health and function over appearance. I believe in the importance of breed preservation, as well as ensuring the breed stays true to its origins, all whilst maintaining a moral code. At the end of the day I’m an animal lover….like seriously! I have 4 dogs, 2 pigs, 14 chickens, 4 goats, multiple reptiles and I absolutely LOVE every single one of them! And I would love the opportunity to share my love, knowledge and care for animals with you, your family and your baby!
