years. David left the farm as a young man to gain experience in the world; he didn’t feel called to return to his roots for several years. When his father, Melvin, retired two years ago and sold his herd of dairy cows, the idea to return to his home-farm manifested. “It just didn’t sit right with me,” David explained, “I had to come back and put cows in that barn.”
