Lindsey Zemanek, Goodhue County

Lindsey Zemanek owns and operates Burning Daylight Draft Farm in Dennison with her husband, Bill Coughlan, and their son Allaster, 5. About three years ago, they transitioned from homesteading on 2.5 acres to farming for profit and selling direct-to-consumer. They raise pastured lamb, poultry and meat rabbits on 20 acres, using their draft horses instead of tractors. In addition to farming, Lindsey is also a licensed mental health therapist.
