Andrew and Elizabeth Nolan are a 2016 FarmStart investment
for Yankee Farm Credit, working with Loan Officer Kyle Lussier. They are using
their FarmStart investment for initial working capital to help assist in the
purchase of an existing dairy farm and operate as Nolan Family Farm, LLC.
Andy has a degree in Dairy Farm Management Technology from Vermont Technical College, and Elizabeth is a Registered Nurse. After graduating, Andy became the herdsman for Nor-Dic Farm in Panton, VT where his father was an employee for many years and Andy spent much time growing up. As the previous owner of Nor-Dic Farm was looking to retire, but wanted to keep the farm going Andy and Elizabeth saw an opportunity to start Nolan Family Farm.
Nolan Family Farm will be shipping milk to Agri-Mark and milking 200 cows. Andy has been strategic in his downsizing from the former operation of milking 600 cows to help make the transition more viable. They have a lease agreement for the property, plans in place for purchasing equipment, budget planning strategies with help from Yankee’s Liz Bayne and support from the previous owner to aid in their transition to business owners.
Yankee Farm Credit is excited to partner with the Nolan’s in their new business endeavor.
