Phoebe’s tenure as an apprentice at Village Acres Farm & Foodshed helped her appreciate vegetable farmers as frontline workers against our changing climate. Village Acres Farm has always been a huge part of her life, but working in fine dining was what inspired Phoebe to grow vegetables. She also has an extensive background in specialty cut flower growing, floral design, and marketing.
After graduating, she will be returning to the world of growing specialty cut flowers with Wilding Hope, who will work alongside Village Acres Farm. She is particularly inspired to increase native perennials as a way of increasing bird populations for insect control.
“Be ready to pivot. Planning can go a long way, but flexibility is the key.”
