When Pennsylvania’s Painter sisters, Stephanie and Hayley, started creating a side business to help support the family’s fourth-generation dairy farm, they didn’t envision the amazing success they’ve already achieved. After its first full year, the fledgling company, Painterland Sisters Organic Skyr Yogurt, is now the fastest growing yogurt brand in the U.S. natural foods market. This success sailed the sisters onto Forbes magazine’s list of 30 Under 30.
In the debut episode of Grow Getters, a podcast showcasing agriculture’s most inventive side hustles, host Davis Michaelsen interviews Stephanie Painter to hear her story first-hand. Along the way, he sings a few songs (including “Yogurt Rhapsody” for a dairy Queen) and learns the proper way to eat string cheese. Grow Getters celebrates the moxie and innovation of our guests with plenty of our own.
