Today, the farm is called Heaven's Hollow Farm and it's focused on stewarding its natural resources while raising and direct marketing beef to local consumers. After high school graduation, Jennifer earned a BS in nursing from UVA and worked several years for Bons Secours, Martha Jefferson and UVA before she turned her focus to raising and home schooling her 4 young children along with managing Heaven's Hollow Farm beef sales. The kids definitely keep her on her toes and help her maintain her nursing skills on a routine basis!
