I am the 4th generation farmHER and operator here. I am raising the 5th Generation: Chevelle (6 months) and Briar (almost 4). My "other half" John is around here often but he runs a business with his family the next town over. 

I was lucky enough (an occasionally burdened) to inherit this little plot of ground in January of 2009 at the age of 22 and took over full operations back in the fall of 2019. I have actually spent my entire life here! I love this farm and I love growing and producing GOOD & HEALTHY food for my neighbors. My biggest role model was my Grandfather, Gerry and I was lucky to spend a lot of my life with him out in our fields. My favorite job in the spring is working in the greenhouses, my favorite job in the summer is cultivating the fields with my 1948 Farmall Cub! And every Saturday, like clock-work, I work the Farm Stand because I love seeing and chatting with all the customers I work so hard to provide for. My favorite crop to grow is strawberries but my favorite crop to harvest is kale (and I do not really know why).

I served some time on the American Farm Bureau Federation Young Farmer & Rancher Committee in DC, I served 15 years on the Littleton Agricultural Commission and I was just recently voted in as the Vice President of Middlesex County Farm Bureau. Advocating for American Agriculture is very important! I have a claim to fame...I was featured in a few National Magazines and the Farmers' Almanac and in 2020 SaltyGril Beauty named a lip gloss color after me...because even farmers wear makeup! Besides doing the whole farming thing, I LOVE to cook and create exciting meals in my kitchen! And while I think of myself as a great cook...I am actually not real great at baking. My favorite hobby is riding my Morgan horses (which I have been doing since I was two). 

I have an incredible TEAM of people who hold this entire place together and farm the many acres that make up SpringDell. I call them my FARMily and I do not know what I would do without them! This past year was one that tested me. I completed construction of the new addition on the farm stand, had a baby, opened the doors on the new store and got the farm up and running for SPRING all at once. I have to tell you all...I did not think I was gonna be able to...but I did. WE did! Teamwork makes the dream work!

Cheers!
