Presents VPF's Featured Grower of October, 2024
John & Cynthia Shank
John and Cynthia Shank of Cacklehill Farm have been raising poultry for 28 years. Currently growing for George's, John does most of the work, but has help from sons Kurtis and Nicholas, and Cynthia, too.
Having been the runner-up for Grower of Year twice, the Shanks work toward environmental stewardship with a nutrient management plan, and they also transfer extra litter off their farm.
The Shanks say they keep constant check on the birds, making sure they have water and feed and are comfortable as possible with good ventilation.
John and Cynthia say they enjoy poultry farming and the flexibility it allows. W"e thank God for the privilege to live in the country. It is a good living," they said.
HATS OFF TO THE SHANKS!
