Meredith Mizell
Farm Manager

A graphic designer by trade, Meredith now serves as the full-time farm manager. Her duties include day-to-day operations, scheduling, marketing, public relations, and design; she also arranges internships and volunteer stays, work days, and farm tours. Meredith sees that everything makes the transition from greenhouse to garden to market successfully and prides herself on rigorous quality control. While she loves growing and cooking our own produce, her real passion is herbs and she is currently studying to become an herbalist. She also has an interest in alternative housing and hopes someday to build a yurt (or maybe yurts) on the farm.

Katherine Mizell
Owner/Operator

A Certified Master Gardener for more than 20 years, Katherine bridges the gap between the garden and livestock sides of our farm with her extensive growing experience and love of animals. Her green thumb knows no bounds in the greenhouse, where she starts all of our production and retail stock from seed. She has a special interest in unusual and heirloom vegetable and herb varieties, as well as heritage chicken breeds. We also rely on her encyclopedic knowledge (we call her the "Walking Wikipedia") in the kitchen, where she oversees the preparation and preservation of what we produce.

Clark Mizell
Owner/Operator

With an extensive background in accounting, Clark juggles a day job, the management of our livestock and pasture, and the farm's financials. In the pasture, he cares for our Tunis sheep and other livestock by utilizing a rotational grazing system, selecting and breeding stock for the healthiest animals and best flavor, and maintaining flock health through regular physical check-ups, hoof trimming, and yearly shearing. Clark is also our resident soil and grass expert, and although he tends to stick to the pasture rather than the garden, he enjoys watching Top Chef and has almost gotten to the point where he'll eat beans.
