At seven, Maartje Murphy and her family moved from the Netherlands to Canada. With the hope to build a larger dairy farm, the van Bedaf family settled in Carrington, North Dakota. Cows and Co. Creamery is an on-farm creamery that manufactures gelato, Gouda cheese, cheddar cheese curds, yogurt and bottles milk. Who does she credit for her entrepreneurial spirit? “My mom has a lot of talents, watching her throughout my life, seeing all the things that she accomplished as a woman and as a farmer, she’s super mom and a super business woman. I would say my mom has been a big inspiration to be where I am.” Watch RRFN’s interview with Maartje Murphy on YouTube.
