Joyce Hansen joins us from Marquette, NE, where she and her husband own and operate an organic farm.  They are blessed to have two beautiful teenage daughters, Laura and Jasmine.  Joyce has a bachelor of fine arts degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and has spent many years as a professional cake decorator and freelance artist.  Though Joyce has many interests and hobbies, one of her constant true loves in life is animals. She absolutely “loves” to spend time with her horses, dogs, cats, and any animal that visits the clinic. Your pet is in good and loving hands around Joyce.
