Today’s episode comes to you from Charlotte Vermont where we visit with Katie Rase Seward from Head Over Fields Farm. Katie Rose has been farming for 10 years and half of those are here on her home farm. She sells organic veg from about 5 acres in production with several high tunnels through a retail year round farm stand, CSA, wholesale, and farmers markets.
We start off with a winter tour of the farm after some fresh January snow where she shares about growing winter greens, getting water on the farm, and growing in varying soil conditions across the sloping landscape. We then pull up a stool in the wash pack and talk about how she got into ag, the challenges of starting a diversified veg farm in the 2020’s and how friends and mentors helped her through the growing pains she experienced while building up this farm business.
