The Founder
My name is Yannick Favre. I was born in the Jura mountains of France and grew up surrounded by farming, forests, and simple living. My journey eventually brought me to the United States, where I built a career in agricultural biotechnology, plant science, and greenhouse systems.
After facing major life challenges and personal transitions, including burnout and divorce, I made the decision to rebuild my life around something more meaningful and grounded. That vision became Sunset Hill Farm.
