Kat Jenkins

I’m Kat, my familial connection to the farm is distant and complicated but cousin should suffice as a simplified explanation. Here on the farm, I am the Agricultural Manager, Director of Floriculture and the Director of Groundskeeping. I really enjoy solving problems and learning new skills so on top of all that I’m currently studying for a Degree in Digital Graphic Design.  

I grew up just a mile from the farm and spent most of my childhood biking back and forth from my house to the farm, playing in the fields with Annie and generally getting underfoot when we “helped” with the farm activities. As a teenager I took an interest in farming and decided to spend some time working on organic farms to learn more. After that I spent several years working as an agricultural manager on an Island farm before returning to help manage the farms growing projects. 

My favorite part of farming is the people, the opportunities that farming provides for building relationships and learning how to work together is just amazing. I love having the opportunity to work with and coach people as they learn to work together as a team.  Of course, I love growing plants and all the other farm activities too, but the people are definitely the best part. Seeing the relationships that are made from working hard together just make it all worth it.
