In my last summer before I finished college, I was feeling burnt out in my architecture career path. I’d gone into it because I loved to draw and cared about sustainability—architecture gave me a real-world connection to art and environmental movements. But in the summers, I was exhausted from working in an office, staring at a computer all day. That last summer I’d just started dating someone I already knew was incredibly special—Jamie!—and together we decided to take a summer off from our career ambitions to work on an organic vegetable farm.

We fell in love with the work, the people, and the rhythms of living seasonally. This is our seventh season, and we’ve never looked back. We’re thrilled now to have a small farm of our own, bringing together our love of beauty, eco-consciousness, and community.
