Ep. 39 - Barbara Crain: Dairy and Beef Farming in Oklahoma

Barbara Crain, along with her husband, pioneered grass-fed dairy and beef in the state of Oklahoma.

They began dairy farming in 1991 and built the processing plant in 2005 so they could process their own milk. Barbara oversees manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of all the products. She would like to be an example of how a small farm can be profitable, sustainable, and a viable option for the next generation. Barbara has hosted PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS® women from both Afghanistan and Rwanda.
