Putting the Hayden in Hayden Farms
Hi, We’re Daniel and Danielle Hayden
Hayden Farms was started by Daniel’s parents, Martin and Joan, in 1983 and purchased by us in 2020 to ensure it’s future for the next generation. While they get to enjoy the benefits of retirement, or semi-retirement, we consider it a honor to continue forth and expand their legacy.
Daniel has worked on the farm since well before he was old enough to work, he has a degree from Murray State University in Ag Business. He runs the farm day-to-day, making sure everyone stays healthy fed, and hopefully in the fenced area they are designated too (We’re looking at you momma cows). You can find him walking chicken houses with a podcast playing in his ears (Bear Grease and MeatEater are his go-tos) or geeking out over pasture health as he implements regenerative grazing across the farm.
Danielle joined the farm in 2014 after wedding nuptials and a move from Oklahoma to Kentucky. She has a degree in Agriculture Communications and Ag Economics from Oklahoma State University, which she uses daily while managing the behind the scenes of the farm. If you’ve seen our social media posts, received an email, scheduled, or been on, farm tours, attended our events or purchased from our other business — D2Meats — you have worked with Danielle. On a regular day you can find her, hair pinned up with a 90’s clip (capitalizing on their fashion return) while chasing a toddler around the farm and trying to squeeze the work of the three businesses in the window of said toddler’s naptime.
