Chickens and Rabbits

Violeta Penafiel | San Rafael (Deseret Valle)

I have been working in agriculture for 64 years. I raise rabbits and chickens to sell for eggs and meat. The Interweave trainings have taught me to put my skin in the game like I never did before. I invest in my business and I've learned to do it wisely. Before, I housed my chickens and rabbits in very poor conditions. I justified the conditions because I couldn't afford anything better.  Unfortunately, my animals were not safe. I regularly lost eggs, chickens, and rabbits. However with the help of Interweave, I learned how to save and invest my money appropriately. I was able to build a better unit for my animals and they are now safer and I lose less. This has allowed me to sell more products and expand my business. I am very grateful for the wisdom and training I have gained from Interweave.

I am from the Deseret Valle Association
