Farmer Profile for Amanda Sanfiorenzo

Galen Wilbur

Please describe your past and/or present farming experience

Galen and I have many years of organic farming, sustainability and natural experience. We are looking to start our own journey into farming and land conservation projects. We as young farmers, are looking for accessible and affordable farm land, to keep it under organic vegetable production and secure proper soil conservation practices. Galen and I love to be multitasking and have a lot of other jobs backgrounds, pertinent to start a farming business. Like web design and technology, marketing, customer service, greenhouses management, and other outdoor and hand work/hard work tasks. We love the outdoors and nature, giving them priority over other life styles and routines. Growing food is one of our biggest passions and this time looks the right time to follow our hearts and give back to the land and the community.
