The Hamiltons maintained their small dairy farm until 2022.  They were forced out by their integrator because the Hamiltons did not want to expand or invest in expanding into a large dairy operation.  After their dairy closed, Paula attended Farm Aid, where she observed a demonstration on mushroom farming. Paula started growing mushrooms for fun and has since transfarmed her dairy barn into a mushroom farming barn, allowing her family a viable option for supplementing their income.  You can find Paula and Dale at the Jeffersonville farmer’s market selling (out of) a variety of mushroom and mushroom products.
