Margaret grew up in upstate NY to non-farming parents. She caught the "ag bug" at a local educational farm, joined 4-H, and set off on an entirely different path than anyone would expect. She obtained BS and MS degrees in animal science, with focus on ruminant nutrition and grazing management. After a few years organizing farmer-led education and research with Practical Farmers of Iowa, she moved to the Kansas City area to get married to her (incredibly supportive but non-farming) husband Eric. She spent a few years running the livestock portion of an agritourism farm and delivering the same sorts of lessons to youth that got her into ag, followed by a stint with K-State Research and Extension. She jumped into "for real" farming in 2018 as an affiliate of Goats On The Go, a national network of targeted goat grazing operators. She now farms full-time as a "professional crazy goat lady" as Storm Dancer Farm LLC and Goats On The Go KCMO, surrounded by cows, sheep, chickens, dogs, a few donkeys, and lots and lots of goats.
