Farm Credit Fellow - Jinny Purrier

Virginia (Jinny) Purrier visited the Newport office the week of May 24-27 as part of the Farm Credit Fellows program. Jinny has an associates degree in Dairy Farm Management from Vermont Tech and is currently a student at UVM in the FARMS 2+2 Program. She just finished her semester at the Miner Institute in Chazy, NY. She will be returning to UVM this fall as a senior. After graduation Jinny plans to pursue an internship/employment for a year before she returns home to Montgomery, VT where she hopes to restart the family dairy farm and incorporate some aspects of Ag tourism, such as a maple sugaring operation, farmstand, and a Bed & Breakfast.
