Cindy Bertrand who owns The Farmer's Daughter in Auburn, Cindy was born on a dairy farm and is the third generation of her family to take up farming. Her love of animals started at a young age when her grandfather gave her a bottle baby lamb that she named Daisy and even took her to kindergarten!
Over the years, her family farm transitioned from dairy to beef. When they decided to diversify and open a retail establishment in 1982, it was named The Farmer's Daughter, selling fresh farm grown produce and Christmas trees. Today, the Farmer's Daughter sells an extensive variety of annuals, perennials, and vegetable plants along with garden and holiday decor, and giftware. They continue to sell their own beef and pork, born and raised on their farm!
She loves to see the fruits of her labor, watching plants grow and bloom to seeing a new calf being born and enjoys networking with fellow growers to learn from them as well as impart her knowledge for a stronger farming community.
