SNOWY BROOK FARM - Key Persons
Amy Barkley is the CEO of Snowy Brook Farm. One day as a child in the early 2000s, her family brought an old, bulky computer into the house with internet capabilities, and the first thing she did was to make an email account under the username "chickengirl". Now, armed with a Masters degree from Penn State in Animal Science, focusing in Poultry Science, Amy is a woman who truly loves, cares, and obsesses about poultry. Though the dream of owning her own farm originally seemed out-of-reach, an unexpected opportunity arose, and with it she founded Snowy Brook Farm under the mantra of sharing her love of these feathered companions with the rest of society. Hard-working, determined, and maybe just a touch overambitious, Amy spends every day thinking about how she can improve the lives of chickens everywhere, and redefines what it means to be "one of the flock".
Zach Barkley is the husband of the CEO and has the honor of holding the esteemed title, "Farmer's Apprentice". A climate scientist by trade, Zach's knowledge of farming may be somewhat lacking, but he's learning more every day under the tutelage of the CEO. His impressive wit and technical prowess make his skillset ideal for restarting routers and writing descriptive paragraphs on the company website.
