Kristin Mack - is in the field whenever possible! Kristin is the multitasker who blankets the farm with capabilities in every department. You will see her at the storefront from time to time because we all share store shifts.

Ethan Crowley

Ethan Crowley - the farm affineur. The cheeses are turned twice a week and washed with a sea salt and water solution. Consistency and dedication make the cheese cellar a proud place. You might not see him because he is in the cellar! Plus, Ethan makes the Lagomorph bakery items that we have in the store on Fridays and Saturdays.
