Past and Present Farming Experience:

I have worked on a small diversified vegetable farm in Maine for the past few years and have worked at one back in my hometown in Pennsylvania. I am also graduating from the University of Maine's sustainable agriculture program this December. While at the university I was employed as an agronomist in the agroecology lab where I spent time in Alaska sampling soils and righting management recommendations.
