Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am a small-scale, diversified vegetable farmer from the U.S.
I traveled for several months to 16 countries on 5 continents, visiting farms along the way.
I have been full-time farming for over 9 seasons now so I have experience and skill to offer!
I am an advocate for local economy and equitable production practices. I love to cook farm food and am experienced in cooking for special events and large groups.
I also have varied experience in food production and economy education as well as child care, tutoring, and mentorship.
I like to sing aloud in groups and to dance any chance I get. I'm happy to share stories and laughs and just as happy to work in quiet. Wherever I am, I like to try to give as much as I receive and always be open to the abundance around us.
