Janet Hurst grew up in "America's Hometown;" Hannibal, Missouri. Frequent trips to her great grandmother's farm are treasured memories for Janet. Those special moments of collecting eggs, getting water from a well, and finding new born kittens in a hayloft inspired her to own her own small farm, which had to include a few goats. From the moment she brought the first one home, she was hooked and has been making cheese, spinning, and weaving for over 25 years.
