Featured Board Member

Dan Nickerson started farming on his home farm in Scio, NY when he was 18 with 40 cows. In 1982 he married his wife, Sue, in 1985 he bought the neighbor’s farm to be able to expand his herd to the 170 holsteins he is currently milking. In addition to his milking cows Dan has 170 young stock & 150 angus beef cows. His son, Jon, continues to work on the farm with him.

Dan joined Middlebury in 2001 and became a board member in 2005 after being asked by Don Gilman if he would be interested in representing the NY farmers.

In addition to milking, Dan delivers sawdust to other farms.
