About Us
Dean
Dean's love for growing began in college and grew as he taught a team of Camden teens how to farm, beekeep and make hot sauce. After working for the non-profit program for two years, he began his journey to branch out as a young market gardener and business owner. Dean farms to improve soil health and to grow the most vibrant and delicious vegetables possible! Dean's favorite veggies include Arugula, Broccoli Rabe & Fennel.
Emily
Emily is a former restaurant and farmstand manager. She has always had a passion for food but getting her hands in the dirt has inspired new goals and reinforced old aspirations, including growing food and starting a business. While Emily enjoys navigating the ins and outs of vegetable farming, her creative energy shines in the kitchen when preparing farm fresh meals and finding bumper crop solutions through preserving, fermenting, and donating farm surplus to a local hunger relief organization. Emily's favorite vegetables include Spring Peas, Fennel, Baby Mustard Greens, and of course Tomatoes!
Allison
A love of community led Allison to a small liberal arts college in central Pennsylvania; while there she studied ethical coffee sourcing by way of the Political Science department. In order to better understand the Organic certification process to aid coffee farmers, she began interning on a small, CSA-based farm. There she grew to value her time growing and feeding people much more than learning about USDA regulations. After graduation, she worked in coffee sourcing and international development, but decided in 2019 to get her hands dirty again. Allison’s favorite vegetables are fennel, hakurei turnips, and mustard greens.
