About Us

We are Michael Kirkpatrick & Laura Knight

        * Laura is a visual artist whose interests include painting,  photography and graphic design.
(All the farm graphics, and this website were done by her.)
Laura has gardened and worked with plants since childhood and loves being in the fields. 
She also has an interior decoration-color consultation business with a main focus on color. 
(www.colorlk.com).      

        * Michael is a freelance writer and former owner of the Center Street Cafe in Boston, MA. 
While at the restaurant Michael began working with area farmers to ensure the menu included as
much locally-grown and organic produce as possible.  He has written articles for The Boston Globe, The Boston Herald Sunday Magazine, and most recently,  Edible Boston.

       * Before buying their own farm, Laura and Michael grew heirloom tomatoes for Whole Foods and Boston-area restaurants on Applefield farm in Stowe, Massachusetts.
