Mary and Brian Heffernan
Mary and Brian Heffernan both have deep agriculture roots and a passion for small town, small business and family-centered food. In 2013, with eyes on a new adventure and California soil in their souls, they took their four spunky girls (all named Mary!) to Siskiyou County, where they raise Black Angus cattle, Navajo-Churro sheep and Berkshire hogs. Brian and Mary’s ranching methods and beliefs help to preserve and protect the land and respect the animals from birth through processing. Mary has started more than twenty small businesses in different industries and shares her years of knowledge, experience and insight with other small business owners in her entrepreneur course, Small Business from Scratch.
