This month, we are highlighting one of our steering committee members, Jewett Borden. Jewett served in the US Navy until 1997 and purchased his farm in Shepherdsville in 2000. After starting out with Angus cattle, Jewett and his family decided to transition to raising Santa Gertrudis cattle and have continued to improve the genetics of their herd year after year.

Cedar Creek is now selling product out of the new on-farm store. In the store, you can not only find beef and pork products from Cedar Creek, but also products from other Kentucky Proud Homegrown by Heroes producers from across the state. Jewett strives to use as many different veteran made or produced agriculture products in his store as he can.

What are you most excited about as this program rolls out?

I’m excited about having the group together and that we are able to reach out and help get other veterans get into the agriculture industry. It will be great to see more veteran farmers developing niche markets as they grow their farm business.
