2024 CREW

Peyton — Produce & Seedling Manager

Birthplace: Cleveland, OH

Living now: Portland ME

Fav veg: Garlic! It makes everything better and nothing is the same without it… except maybe dessert. 

Hobby/passion/interest: I’ve been teaching myself to cook since I started farming. Recently I’ve been making my own yogurt!

Britt — Community Outreach Coordinator & Farm Store Co-Lead
