Who We Are
Steph: the farmer around these parts. I started farming in 2005 and despite my efforts to find another path through life, I have always come back to farming. Wherever life has taken me I have tried to grow a garden, whether in pots on roofs and porches, or by convincing people to let me till up small plots of land. The thing I love most about farming is how much I don't know. I will always be learning more and adapting the way I grow things. I am also passionate about finding ways to live more sustainably. For fun, I like to try growing fruit trees not meant for this climate. My real dream is to one day be the north country's locally grown citrus supplier.

BEAU: house co-owner, dog co-parent, and domestic/life partner. The builder and fixer of many things. The one I call to get large rocks out of the garden, which he then uses to create rock towers or walls. He's along for the ride on this farming journey; his support turns some of my brilliant ideas into reality. When not here on the homestead he can be found running around the mountains helping to maintain AMC facilities.

PORTER: the king of this jungle. He loves doing all sorts of tricks, hunting mice and squirrels (except in the house, unfortunately), jumping rope, and watching us try to get him to play frisbee. When he's not nesting in one of his many nest spots, or taking a nap inside, he's standing guard over his terrain. He takes his job very seriously which is why we ask that you make an appointment before visiting the farm.
