General Information
I am a first generation female farmer and seed keeper, working to steward the land and feed my community. My 2025 farming season will see fruit and vegetable production for a 20 family CSA and one weekly urban market, with all overstock reaching local food programs. 2026 onward, my growing practices will focus on heritage and wild grain/legume species. My organic and regenerative practise of farming will bring nutritious, seasonal and regional foods to community while complimenting the rhythms of nature that envelope us.
