Stone's Throw Farm

Ellen made these flags for my cabin at Caretaker.

I just got a phone call from my friend Ellen Poggi, a superwoman who has been farming on her own in New York for going on three seasons after apprenticing with me and Becky (the milking queen, and an awesome farmer in her own right) at Caretaker Farm in 2007. Whenever anyone expresses doubt about my plans for this season, I remind myself that Ellen did it and I can, too. She’s 10 years younger than me, but she’s way ahead of me, farming-wise.

Thanks for being an inspiration, Ellen!
