Daniel Berry - 2010 & 2011

Daniel arrived here in June of 2010, plunging right into the fray for the first day of CSA.  He came with his hive of bees and has been educating us little by little in the ways of beekeeping as he makes his own way through his first years as a beekeeper.  Formerly an architect in Chicago, DC, and New York, Daniel came to us more recently from a year of apprenticing at Keith's Farm in Orange County, New York.  We are thrilled that Daniel is back for a second season to round out his developing teamster skills and deepen his experience on our farm.

Jeff Backer - 2010

After a great year with us in 2010 Jeff is now managing his own farm in Grafton, MA.  He has leased land from the Grafton Land Trust to establish Potter Hill Farm, where he will grow mostly heirloom vegetables and raise a few beef cows.  He is hoping to transition to horsepower there within a year or two, but for the time being he is relying on a 1952 Farmall Cub to help get him through. 

Devon Burgess - 2010

Devon's apprenticeship with us was cut short after only two months when he died from an accident in Cambridge on May 2nd, 2010.  Three days later we held an informal service on the farm to mourn his loss and celebrate his life.  He was an adventurous, determined, caring, and vibrant spirit who lived life to the fullest and is remembered with much love.  Together with his friends and family we planted a red oak by the bridge in his memory.

Micah & Bethany Spicher Schonberg

Micah & Bethany graced our farm with their lovely presences for the 2008 season.  They then went on to start up their own farm (now horse-powered as well!) on Bethany's parents' land in Pennsylvania in 2009.  Visit their website at www.plowshareproduce.com to see what great things they are up to now.

We hope to add more apprentices from past years in time.
