We are beyond thrilled to share that DR. MARISSA HAKE will be speaking at LWAG 2021! 🐄 🥳
Dr. Hake, also known as calfvet_ over on Instagram where she has 25K+ followers, is a food animal veterinarian working towards improving the care of cattle.
Her interests include young-stock care and handling, pre-harvest food safety and antibiotic mitigation strategies. She is currently the Director of Animal Welfare and Sustainable Farming for Fairlife, LLC. She is passionate about communicating with consumers about modern agriculture through her personal social media accounts. She lives with her husband Travis and their son McCoy in NW Ohio where they cash-crop farm, raise wean-finish pigs, raise replacement heifers and beef cattle.
If you don't already follow her on Instagram, We highly recommend it! Her instagram stories are such a joy to watch and such a great look behind the scenes at her work with cattle. 🐄
Meredith Bernard, also known as thisfarmwife over on Instagram, will be speaking at LWAG 2021 and we could not be more excited! 🎉
On the daily, Meredith can be found helping tend cows or raking hay on her family’s farm, homeschooling her two children, freelance writing, cooking and sharing her life through her blog and YouTube channel - all with a strong daily dose of coffee, beef, butter and a big side of grace. She’s found that in sharing her real, others relate because, in the end, we all have so much more in common than we realize.
On instagram, where she has over 33K followers, she shares recipes, inspiration, motherhood and a look at life on the farm. Go follow her!
We are super excited to have Dr. Marissa Hake and Meredith Bernard confirmed as our keynote speakers. We're still in the process of confirming additional main stage speakers + break out speakers.
As additional speakers are confirmed we'll share them:
- Via email to our newsletter subscribers [Click HERE to join our email list]
- On our Facebook page
- And of course, here on Eventbrite
We're working on determining the tours that will be offered. We hope to share more details in early 2021. Be on the lookout for more information at that time.
Tours are limited and will be offered on a first come basis. Ticket holders and email subscribers will get first dibs on the tours with the information is released.
