Shelby Grebenc is a 13-year-old who started her own egg farm in order to help with the family’s finances after her mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She became the youngest farmer in America to win the Animal Welfare Seal of Approval. Now that her mother’s health has improved, she is using the profits earned towards her college fund. This story is truly inspiring!
