Jen Schimelfenyg

Program Manager

Jen has been homesteading and raising organic food for her family since 1999. From milking goats, soapmaking, cheesemaking, beekeeping, and raising pastured poultry, to tending a large garden and fruit trees, she has a strong desire to grow vital food in harmony with nature and support those who do the same.  

Jen has shared her experiences, taught in the community and used her farm as a classroom and now hopes to enrich the outreach programs at Gwenyn Hill Farm. She is always looking for opportunities to deepen her knowledge of farming and finding ways to cultivate the path for others to steward the land and support regenerative agriculture. Jen graduated from UW-Milwaukee with a Bachelor of Fine Arts.
