ABOUT US
Ascutney Harvest is currently using less than 1/4 acre for intensive vegetable production, while building infrastructure and planting perennials for the future. Lauren, Oliver and Marya aim to increase community access to high-quality, nutrient-dense food and to expand options for local and seasonal food. Systems on the farm are created with health of people and the environment in mind.
Lauren has always wanted to grow her own food, and has been farming for ten years. Oliver has many years of livestock farming and food co-op management experience, and is now operating his own construction business, Owen Enterprises. They met working on a vegetable farm and are enjoying building their own homestead. Marya has been growing and arranging dried flowers at their farm, Wood Frog Flowers. Marya and Lauren met as farmers market vendors. The three farmers are excited to combine enterprises, explore new models of farm viability, and to keep you up to date with their latest news!
