Jul 2020 - Dec 2021
Fable: From Farm to Table is both a working farm and regional farmers market. As Site Manager, I oversaw all farm-related activities. I was responsible for budgeting, designing, and executing on our annual farm plan as well as managing the farm staff. In my last year in this role, my team tripled our greenhouse production, and built a state-of-the-art mobile chicken coop that garnered the attention of local politicians and the media. While being a departure from my previous work experience, this role has given me the opportunity to pursue a passion of mine while refining my planning, management, and organizational skills.
