OUR FAMILY

Picture
FARMER ALLYSON

Allyson fell in love with farming while studying at UMass Amherst - where she went on to get a degree in Agriculture Education.  She has 13 years of experience raising animals, vegetables, and small fruit for market.

Allyson purchased Full Heart Farm in the spring of 2012 at the age of 24, and has been living the dream ever since.

Allyson has spoken at dozens of conferences and events. She serves as a mentor for Holistic Management International's Beginning Women Farmers Program and is a member of the National Young Farmers Coalition.  Allyson was named one of CT Magazine's 40 under 40 for 2015, as well as eWomen Network's Emerging Leader of the Year for 2015.  She loves to learn and to teach and fills her evenings and winters contracting for UConn and Cornell Extension.

Few things excite Allyson as much as working on the farm, but she also enjoys canning, cooking, renovating their farmhouse, and spending time with the littlest farmers.

FARMER KEITH

Keith is the biggest supporter of Full Heart Farm and spends his days working off-farm as Director of Marketing for one of the top farm-to-table catering companies in Connecticut.

When he's home at the farm he loves taking care of the animals, helping out with big projects, and fixing all of the things that get broken during the week.

Keith's specialty is preparing EPIC farm-fresh breakfasts from our own eggs, bacon/sausage/ham, and veggies.

FARMER HENRY

Henry is our resident farmer-florist and a budding entrepreneur.  He proudly helps out with every task on the farm, but especially enjoys working on the compost pile and driving his own John Deere tractor around to assist with harvesting.

Given the choice, Henry would eat pork chops for dinner every night of the week.  With a side of chicken.  And a burger.

FARMER CORA

Cora is farm royalty and considers herself the princess of our land.  She has deemed herself the head of quality control on the farm (especially when it comes to sampling cherry tomatoes!) and prefers to delegate tasks rather than partake in physical labor.  Her favorite crops are anything pink or purple or sparkly.

FARMER SADIE

Sadie loves to spend her days outdoors, admiring the wildlife and getting as dirty as possible.  Her favorite task on the farm is washing vegetables, or anything that involves water.

An avid fruit fanatic, Sadie is looking forward to our ever-expanding strawberry, blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry fields.
