“I get a rush out of helping business owners realize their dreams. Sometimes it just takes some fine tuning and some outside eyes to help a business see and tap into their potential.”
Sara N. Shepherd, CEO of Burdoc Farms, is originally from Durham, NC. Sara has a degree in French Language and Literature from Centre College, KY. She spent a year in Paris living and going to school. In Europe is where Sara came to appreciate travel, culture, food and hospitality. It didn’t hurt that her mother, Irene, was always entertaining many guest in Sara’s childhood home. So hospitality became a way of life. Sara has overseen the growth and expansion of the family farm into a hospitality business. Sara has fostered the growth of the B&B to the wedding business, next expansion to be corporate events, zip lines and summer concert series. With the help of her husband, Keith and daughter, Jessica, the business has grown 35% each year.
