On this week's episode of The Rural Woman Podcast™, you'll meet Alyssa Allen.
Alyssa is first and foremost an animal lover. That passion has brought her to many adventures, most current being the Herd Manager at the Musk Ox Farm in Palmer, Alaska. Being a life long Alaskan, she knows well the struggles of farm work in the unforgiving Arctic. It is tough work for regular farm animals, let alone the least researched North American Ice Age mammal.
