The Humans
Omyia Damaj
Omyia is currently working at the New York State Animal Health and Diagnostic Center while also pursuing a Masters Degree in Public Health at Cornell University. She is incredibly passionate about sustainable agriculture and learning how we can use small farms to help feed the world. When she isn’t working or studying you may find her with a cup of tea, a good book, and one of our many animals to snuggle with.
Tyler Olson
Tyler is currently a veterinary student at Cornell University and is hoping to provide quality horse care locally in the future. If he’s not working on something veterinary related you’re likely to find him roaming somewhere outside on the farm. He has an abundance of hobbies including forging, hunting, tinkering with old farm equipment, and making more work for himself.
