Ranch Feature
Lily Andersen of Paradise Valley, Montana knows how to hustle. From the green hills of Vermont where she grew up to the mountains north of Yellowstone, this mother of two puts her nose to the grindstone daily to keep her five-generation beef and dairy ranch afloat. Innovating with Instagram and co-owning a local ranch supply store are a few ways she diversifies to avoid the financial collapse that threatens the ranch with each election cycle dairy bill. Unfortunately, her back-breaking work doesn’t satisfy the social media world’s hunger for picture-perfect lives and stage-ready performances, further forcing her to continue the hustle with little payoff.
