Sara Hewitt grew up on a Century Farm in southern Minnesota, that she and her husband took over in 2012. She farms corn, soybeans, hay, and raises beef cattle and honey bees. She works full time as a special events coordinator for the Minnesota Soybean Growers, in addition to running Sweet Cheeks Honey and Hewitt Precision Insights with her husband. She has found one of the biggest blessings of farming is the opportunity to raise her daughter to love the land and livestock like she did growing up.
