Dylan Leipold
New Farmer Academy Intern
Hiya, I’m Dylan – and I am beyond excited to be joining the team at Countryside as an NFA intern in 2021! Like many people who have grown up in the Cuyahoga Valley I have a deep respect and appreciation for nature, and can usually be found outside taking in the peaceful fresh air. I enjoy spending time volunteering with local 4-H and Jr. Fair programs, getting lost exploring deep into the woods, and tending to a small hobby farm raising poultry and rabbits. I’m looking forward to a year of digging deeper into my passion for agriculture, developing new skills on and off the farm, working with mentor farmers, and learning how I can practice more sustainable farming methods.
