Madison stewarded the Lafayette College farm as part of her tenure as a Diversified Vegetable Pre-Apprentice, acquiring more farming skills that she will take with her moving forward. Her interest in food and farming began when she started her plant-based journey in 2010. She thoroughly enjoys spending time with volunteers on the farming!

Upon graduating, she will be pursuing jobs where she can teach others the importance of farming, whether it be as a farmer or an environmental educator.

“Farming is the ultimate learning experience. The learning process is never quite complete, leaving something new to learn every single day.”
