I have been working in the ag industry for about a decade in a variety of capacities, but got my start at Asgaard Farm back in 2013. Since then, I've managed sizable vegetable and meat csa programs for a land trust in Massachusetts, worked extensively in New Zealand, and even put in a brief stint on a cattle ranch out west. Most recently, I managed the supply chain for a company called Walden Local Meat here in the Northeast and served as the Canadian Territory Rep for Johnny's Selected Seeds. I originally graduated from Hamilton College with a philosophy degree back in 2015, but returned to school during the pandemic to get my Master's degree in Extension Education from Colorado State University. I live right here in Essex and it's a real privilege to be able to serve this unique part of the farming community.
