Calling in the Ewes

Abstract

In a midlife moment of truth, Scottie Jones, MA '80, and her husband, Greg, MA '76, PhD '79, chucked secure professional jobs, bought a small farm and moved "back to the land." But making a living on Leaping Lamb Farm proved nearly impossible. Five years later, with a dozen money-making ideas shattered and savings all but exhausted, they hit upon an idea that just might make it work.
