Ori Slotky

Livestock Apprentice

Ori graduated from Brandeis University with a degree in Environmental Studies and Politics, minoring in Climate Justice, Science and Policy. At Brandeis, he captained the Track and Field team and worked as a student climate fellow. He came to the Roaring Valley from New Jersey, hoping to escape to the mountains for a few months as a Summer Naturalist. He ended up staying on for a winter and found himself wanting to learn about livestock management right at Rock Bottom Ranch. Outside of school, he worked at his home town farm, Closter Farm & Livestock Co., a small regenerative farm where he educated the community on sustainable farming and poultry raising strategies. In his free time, Ori loves to trail run, hike, and explore everything else the beautiful mountains of Colorado have to offer.
