More Family, More Farm
When she was growing up on her family’s dairy farm, Clara Ayer often rode her horse up the hill to a beautiful stand of tall pines where she later got married. Clara has returned to work full-time on the farm alongside her brother Ricky Hall, his wife Elizabeth (pictured below) and their three children Teddy, Hazel and Ruby. Their first cousin, Tucker Purchase, as the third generation of family farmers is also involved.


Spreading Knowledge
Clara has started a popular summer camp at one farm location, which she runs with invaluable assistance from family including her mother, grandmother, younger sister and Tucker’s wife, as well as teens in the 4-H club led by her parents. The camp is a natural extension of the family’s commitment to education and youth. “I love seeing the kids take an interest, especially because most aren’t from farms,” says Donna Hall, Clara’s grandmother. “It spreads the word and we like that.”
