The farm has 40 hectares in crops: corn, barley, triticale and rye grass go into silage for the cattle.

Gina has been involved in the operation fulltime since 2008. In May 2015, Gina stepped up to start a Facebook page advocating for the dairy industry. La Vida Lactea now has nearly 30,000 followers. She completed a Master's Degree in Corporate Law and is part of the Young Dairy Leaders Class. She writes regularly for Ganadero and Hoard's Dairyman magazine en espanol. In 2018, Gina won the Global Farmer Network's Kleckner Award.
