Real FarmHERS was born from my connection to Holiday Memories Farm, my family farm that shaped my roots and welcomed me into Agriculture.

My dad, Gary Palmer, built Holiday Memories through hard work, tradition, and a deep love for the land being built with the hands of our family. Holiday Memories has long been known for our Cut-Ur-Own Christmas trees, Pick Ur Own Experiences, produce, crops, and creating a place where families can gather year after year to #MakeMemories. That legacy is the foundation of everything I do.

However, where my story grows and where my passion is endless, is through livestock.

As a Woman in Agriculture, I am continuing that foundation in my own way by creating animal-centered family farm experiences that feel personal, meaningful, and unforgettable. Through Real FarmHERS, I bring families closer to the heart of the farm through baby goats, barnyard interactions, curated events, and private celebrations that reflect both the beauty of the countryside and the joy of hands-on connection.

Holiday Memories Farm is the place that raised me in Agriculture. Real FarmHERS is the chapter I am building through livestock, hospitality, and the kind of farm experiences that stay with people long after they leave.
