"Daniel Bell has always dreamed of turning his part-time job as a farmer into a full-time job, and wanted his children to have the opportunity to farm as well. Through this collaboration, he’s worked toward tripling the size of his flock to nearly 1,000 sheep and turn his farm into a full-time, multigenerational operation by creating a year-round shepherding job for his son."

We're proud to see our partnership with the Bell family's Hazelbrook Farm feature in Amazon's latest blog about their support for farmers across the US. Silicon Ranch's 50 MW Turkey Creek Solar Farm in Garrard County, Kentucky, is the state's first utility-scale solar project, and was enabled by Amazon in its pursuit of sustainable business practices.

Offering grazing services to Silicon Ranch on the Turkey Creek Solar Farm has allowed Daniel to grow his flock to a scale that supports his son's ambitions to remain at work year-round on the family farm. His story is a shining example of how hashtag is making the economics of small-scale, regenerative agriculture work for family farms across the nation.
