Elizabeth
Elizabeth left the farm's tranquility to study history at Bowdoin College and historic preservation at the University of Pennsylvania. Still very much involved in preserving the architectural heritage of New England, Elizabeth is jack of all trades with the goats, making and selling cheese and volunteering in her community to preserve and promote history, architecture, farming and life in a small town.

One part animal husbandmen, one part mechanic, one part carpenter, one part Master Cheese Maker and on and on. He also works off the farm as a Registered Investment Advisor at Essex Private Wealth Management in Topsfield.

Mary
Elizabeth's mother Mary Brown is a critical part of Valley View Farm. The actual owner of the farm, Mary helps keep life on the farm and in the house running smoothly. Her main responsibility is taking care of the annual crop of goat kids. They are treated to the "good life" by starting out in her kitchen, where most folks like to hang out when visiting the farm. Mary is also the main deliverer of Valley View's cheeses on the North Shore.
