Premium Pasture-raised Meats & Specialty Products

Pete and Jen are sustainable farmers, travelers, and lovers of good local food.

Pete is currently a farm manager at Verrill Farm in Concord, MA...where his dream is to convert the farm to more sustainable production methods and integrate animals into the cropping system.  (if you shop at Verrill and you agree, speak up and voice your support!)

Jen is the Director for the New Entry Sustainable Farming project (http://www.nesfp.org), a Tufts University project which assists new immigrants and other beginning farmers to begin agricultural enterpises in Massachussetts.  We met while studying organic agriculture at the UCSC Farm and Garden in Santa Cruz, CA and got married at Verrill Farm with our own <100-mile farm wedding (ie, we raised/sourced all our own local food and flowers for the ceremony!).

Jen is originally from Indiana and holds degrees in Enviornmental Studies from Indiana University and a Masters in Agricultural Public Policy from Tufts University.  Pete grew up in the suburbs of Long Island, NY and holds a quite useless degree in Psychology from Ithaca College.

We are both Returned Peace Corps Volunteers...Jen from Honduras where she taught hillside farming, and Pete from the Federated States of Micronesia (western Pacific Islands), where he taught nutrition and gardening.

We love to travel, meet new and interesting people, and enjoy their wonderfully tasty local foods.

In two of the photos to the right you can see us in India.  In 2006 we enjoyed some much needed time off from farming and work.  The people of India are incredible!
