About Us
I have wanted to be a farmer since highschool. But no one from the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pa goes to college to study farming, so I didn't. I studied English Literature, Philosophy and Biology-get ready world here I come. It wasn't until 2002 when I re-evaluated my life, that I devoted myself to this career. I packed up everything that I could fit into my Subaru and moved from Dillon, Colorado to Sandpoint, Idaho to learn what I could from Diane Green at Greentree Naturals. After spending 3 seasons with her, I realized that I couldn't possibly farm on my own (no husband, no family, no land) and gave up this fantasy. I moved to Bend, Oregon because I mistakenly thought that maybe I was a city girl. I was very wrong. From there though, the universe worked its magic. The next thing I knew, I had moved yet again, this time to Newport, Wa. Here I found a couple looking for someone to farm two acres. Land problem solved. And they ran a therapeutic community for young adults, so if I could make weeding, transplanting, weeding, squishing bugs, and weeding fun, I would have help. Not having a family problem solved. I now have been at Penrith Farms for four seasons. The young adults seem to find working in the gardens with me fun. And we keep on producing fantastic food.
