HI THERE,
I AM AMY FORGUES, MY HUSBAND AND BEST FRIEND IN THE WORLD TRAVIS AND I ARE HAPPY TO BE THE NEW OWNERS OF HIDDEN SPRINGS CREAMERY.
WE ARE BLESSED WITH 3 WONDERFUL CHILDREN, EMMA, GABE AND MOLLY. WE HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AGRICULTURE OUR ENTIRE LIVES, AS FARMERS AND WORKING FOR THE ORGANIC INDUSTRY FOR AN ORGANIZATION WHOSE MISSION IS TO KEEP FAMILY FARMERS ON THE LAND.
HIDDEN SPRINGS FOR US IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A FAMILY FARM ONCE AGAIN. I WILL BE RUNNING DAILY FARM AND CREAMERY OPERATIONS, ALONG WITH OUR HERDSMAN AND A CHEESEMAKER. TRAVIS’S TITLE IS “CHIEF SHEEP CUDDLER”. HE IS KEEPING HIS JOB OFF THE FARM AND IS VERY HAPPY TO COME HOME TO LOTS OF ANIMALS TO CUDDLE AND THINGS TO DO ON THE FARM. CARING FOR ANIMALS AND THE LAND HAS BEEN A MAJOR PART OF OUR LIVES FOR THE MAJORITY OF OUR LIVES AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO RETURNING TO THAT FAMILIAR RHYTHM.
EMMA AND GABE, OUR TWO OLDER CHILDREN, HAVE BOTH GRADUATED AND ARE WORKING IN THEIR FIELDS. WE HAVE HOPES OF GABE RETURNING TO WORK WITH HIS MOM ON THE FAMILY FARM SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE. MOLLY OUR YOUNGEST IS A FRESHMAN AT UMN AND WILL BE HOME THIS SUMMER, JUST IN TIME TO HELP WITH FARMERS MARKETS AND PACKING CHEESE!
LOOKING FORWARD, WE ARE COMMITTED TO CONTINUING TO PRODUCE THE AWARD-WINNING CHEESES THAT HIDDEN SPRINGS IS KNOWN AND THROWING IN SOME OF OUR OWN TWIST. MORE ON THAT TO COME!
