Who we are
The foxtrot farmers
Abby, farm manger
Since her first apprenticeship in 2012, Abby (she/her) has worked on small veggie farms and orchards from Maine to New Mexico. She envisions agricultural systems that are resilient, ecologically-sound, socially-just, and integral to their communities. Abby studied herbalism at Blazing Star Herbal School in Conway, MA. She was a 2021 SARE Climate Adaptation Fellow. If she's not in the fields, she can be spotted running the local trail networks, practicing her careful culinary alchemy, or writing you a love letter.
Favorite farm tool: stirrup hoe

noah, sales and marketing coordinator
Noah (they/he) is a somatic practitioner who believes listening to our bodies and the beings around us in new ways are a key part of collective healing and transformation. Noah savors and delights in the time that they spend with plants, and has been deepening their learning and connection over the last few years through mentorship, baking with local herbs and flowers and volunteering on farms. In their free time you can find them singing karaoke, adventuring through the woods and baking fancy gluten free treats.
Favorite farm tool: their hands
Ced, crew-member
Ced (they/them) has been working at Foxtrot since 2020. Hailing from a background in art, health justice, and herbalism, Ced lends their expertise in plant medicine to blending teas and dreaming up botanical ice cream flavors. They studied with Sevensong in Ithaca, NY and are currently training to be a massage therapist. When not at the farm, you can find them on the trails of Western MA with their canine companion Ever-dog, baking chamomile cakes, teaching line-dancing, and playing the drums.
Favorite tool: chamomile rake

Kit, consulting technical support
Kit (he/they) is the Chief of We-Can-Build-It and Master Fixer-Upper of the farm. Born and raised in the Southwest, he discovered farming on a bike tour across Spain. Since then, he has worked on several farms, managed a one-acre school garden and orchard, and fallen ever-so-madly in love with the woods of New England. When they’re not in the fields, you can find Kit scheduling mediations and leading restorative circles for Collaborative Resolutions Group, riding their bike on forgotten dirt roads, or baking sourdough bread.
Favorite farm tool: scythe
Bri, working CSA member/style icon
A nomadic world traveler, Bri (she/her) periodically makes her home in Western MA, where she lives in a yurt with two gray tabby cats. Bri comes from a background in the visual and tactile arts. She has been volunteering with us since 2020 and brings a meticulous attention to detail, extreme thoughtfulness, and a pinch of sarcasm to every bag of salad that she packages.
Favorite tool: her hands
Zora, captain of moral
Zora (she/her) came to us from a prior life in Kentucky, which she never speaks of. Judging from her epic endurance, sage ways, activist name, and compassionate nature, we suspect that she retired from a successful career in ultra-marathoning to join the fight to block the Keystone XL pipeline, and then obtained a masters degree in behavioral therapy from the University of Kentucky.
Favorite thing to herd on the farm: garden cart
