Meet your farmers
We met one day at a vineyard managed by Tom. I worked for a university and scouted his vineyard for insects every week to collect data on pest populations. Each week, I stayed a few minutes more, our conversations growing longer… we talked about farm sustainability, good food, innovations in pest management, cool plants, and shared musings of growing our own food. And then one day…we just never stopped talking. Turns out, we liked each other.
We have big hopes for the future of Harrand Hill Farm & Market, lots of crazy ideas to explore, and we’re so glad you’re here!
