From a third-generation farmer and successful entrepreneur, Redefining Rich is an entrepreneur’s guide to balancing work and family with the pleasures of the good life, with simple exercises and important lessons to serve everyone from the new sole proprietor to a seasoned CEO.
Shannon Hayes was in the final months of her PhD program, recently engaged, and beginning to plan her future. Having grown up on a northern Appalachian sheep farm, she had two advantages: a hard-won education and hillbilly pragmatism. But when it came time to enter the job market, Hayes made a tough discovery: the economy just doesn’t work. It doesn’t work for women, for free thinkers, for the working class, or for white-collar professionals. It doesn’t work in rural America, much less in the cities and the suburbs. It forces us to choose between career and family, profit and creativity.
So, Hayes and her husband walked away from their career paths and chose to forge a life on her family’s frost-plagued mountain farm, starting up a small café in town. Together, they found their sweet spot: a place where the Appalachian farm culture and sensibilities she and her community have lived by helped them thrive, even in a tough economic environment. Against the odds, the Hayes family built a business that lets them live abundantly, spend time with family, and enjoy the gifts of nature. And the business even helped reinvigorate their chronically economically depressed town.
Shannon Hayes is the chef and CFO of Sap Bush Hollow Farm, LLC. She and three generations of her family raise grassfed & pastured meats, operate Sap Bush Cafe (a farm-to-table and neighbor-to-neighbor experience in the Catskill mountains), as well as vacation rentals, long-term rentals, and an online general store. Hayes is the author of several books, including The Grassfed Gourmet Cookbook, Long Way on a Little, and Radical Homemakers. She is the host of The Hearth of Sap Bush Hollow podcast, which chronicles and lessons from a life tied to family, community, and the land. Hayes holds a PhD in sustainable agriculture and community development from Cornell University and makes it a life goal to spend a few hours in the woods each day doing nothing except pondering the mysteries of the universe. Hayes lives and works in West Fulton, NY, in the Northern Catskills, where she grew up.
