Ingrid is a native of Lewes and graduated from Cape Henlopen High School. She received her degrees in Equestrian Science and Veterinary Nursing. After more than 2 decades of Veterinary Nursing and training horses, she returned to the Hopkins Farm to create a business of her own. She renovated the original 1837 Hopkins farmhouse to become The Covered Bridge Inn, B&B.
As the company grew, she shifted her business focus towards weddings, renovated 3 barns on the Hopkins farm, and now operates Hopkins Heartland, a farm wedding venue with two reception spaces and accommodations for 16 guests for wedding weekends!

The wedding business is the perfect fit for the historic farm structures and preserved farmland. Ingrid was the 2022 Women In Business keynote speaker and continues to inspire women to challenge themselves to try new things! Now, alongside her sister Amy, she continues to grow in the agritourism business with the Hopkins Farm experience.
