Description of farming experience

My children and I grew up on a farm in southern Vermont, where we grew vegetables, flowers, herbs, and raised a variety of animals, including sheep, goats, ducks, turkeys, Berkshire pigs, pheasant and quail. I launched our first farmer’s market booth, and eventually experienced vending dozens farmer’s markets throughout the state over the years. 

My children and I enjoy growing flowers and vegetables, foraging fiddleheads, ramps and mushrooms and raising poultry. I also spent a season working on a couple of hemp farms in northern Vermont. 

Farming plans

Tenure arrangement desired

Lease

Tenure arrangement description

Our short term goal is to lease a property to launch our cut flower farm for the 2026 season. 

Our long term goal is to purchase and preserve an existing piece of land to launch a diversified farm, focused on regenerative agriculture, and assist the landowners to create a conservation easement to protect the land from overdevelopment for many generations. 

It would be helpful to lease farmland that includes housing, but it is not a limiting factor. We would love to collaborate with current owners to enable them to continue living on the property long after any possible transfer of ownership.

Additional information

In addition to my farming background, I’ve worked many years in sales, administrative, customer service, IT and digital marketing roles. 

My intention is to bring these skills to the table, and split my time between office & field at whatever project I launch this season.
