Vendor Biography

Ten years ago, I retired from a professional career as a licensed mental health therapist and state administrator, and I began farming my ten acres of land. While I maintain a small online psychotherapy practice and some consulting, my interest in growing and working the land has provided a new experience and connection to the earth. Also, tomatoes are cheaper than therapy!

I grow hard neck garlic, lettuce, summer/winter squash, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, carrots, leeks, kale, peas, beans, various fingerling potatoes, pumpkins, melons, beans, radishes, herbs, and snap peas. I do grow some fruits—mostly blueberries and strawberries. I have a CSA and a farm stand at 47 Kahn road in Franklin, CT. I am at the Montville Farmers Market on Tuesday nights in Montville, CT.
