Katie has been an educator and coach for the past 30 years in the Mad River Valley.  With degrees in Physical Education and Early Education, Katie has run after school programs, summer camps and ski programs as well as worked many years as a one-one instructor in special education. In 2011, Wayfarer Farm was moved to 247 High Country Road, an alpaca farm producing amazing fibers.  

Many animals have been welcomed to the farm,  animals who needed forever homes.  Now the farm known as High Country Animals includes ponies, rabbits, dogs and chickens, as well as the unique alpacas.

Katie has pursued a degree in Animal Assisted Therapy to share High Country Animals and her passion for teaching children to welcome children of all learning abilities to the farm.
