Meet The Crew

​Lisa graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a Bachelors of Science in Plant, Soil and Insect Sciences. While in school and after graduation Lisa worked on a variety of organic farms in Amherst, MA, where she gained a lot of experience before Mighty Food.  Lisa loves working with the farm crew in the fields, harvesting anything, crop planning, working with soil, and engaging with customers.  Lisa loves farming and loves working!  When not farming (which is rare), Lisa is an avid runner, and loves hiking, cross-country skiing, yoga,  and spending time with her dogs, Clover and Violet.  You can sometimes catch a glimpse of Lisa at the farm, but she is usually out in the fields or in a greenhouse.   She loves farming and loves being outside.

Rob is the farm's Equipment, Tractor, and Maintenance man extraordinaire! 2025 will be Rob's 5th year as full time on the farm. Rob has been helping out here and there from the very beginnings of Mighty Food Farm though! Rob has an interest in conservation and no-till practices, which we are incorporating on the farm. Rob and his wife Karen have two awesome kids and live in a straw bale house that they built themselves! Rob's background is in sculpture, but is really a Jack-of-all-trades, which is so helpful on the farm. Thanks rob for taking care of our soil, buildings, and equipment!

Renee hails from New Haven CT! 2025 will be Renee's second season on the farm! Renee can do it all! From cranking out fields tasks and packing CSA boxes, to deliveries, and harvesting like a pro! Renee brings positive energy, an eagerness to learn, and is all-around super fun to work with! Renee enjoys yoga, hiking, volunteering at animal sanctuaries, and trying new activities in her free time! Renee! You are a beam of light! Thank you for your work!

Kathleen is the on-farm CSA Manager! You will find Kathleen running the Friday and Saturday CSA pickups. Kathleen also helps packing CSA and wholesale orders. She is a team player and always has a positive attitude and caring nature. 2025 will be Kathleen's sixth season on the farm season on the farm. Outside the farm, Kathleen loves the great outdoors including running, hiking, cross country skiing, and gardening. She enjoys being a part of the Mighty Food crew and helping bring organic, fresh veggies to the community. It's a team atmosphere which she enjoys and is accustomed to after coaching cross country and track at the high school and college level for over 20 years. Kathleen brings a lot to the farm team, including diligence with packing orders and quality control in the packing shed and a love of people, which makes her a real asset as CSA manager! The above picture is of Kathleen sorting brussel sprouts in the fall for orders! Thanks Kathleen for your work and compassion.

Douglas has been with Mighty Food for 14 years! He works the Dorset Market every Sunday with Lisa and works in the field and the pack house! Douglas loves root washing, pounding posts, stream-lining large harvests, and setting up bomb displays at the market. Douglas is a Vermont Native and lives in Bennington with his wife Ashley and two kids, Clara and Timothy. Douglas is a talented gardener, handy-man, and total do-it-yourselfer. Thanks Douglas for your hard work, kindness, and humor!  ​
