Chloe comes to the farm from neighboring Bedford County, PA, where she grew up helping care for her family’s small home gardens. She has a degree in Peace and Social Justice Studies from Berea College and is a member of the Church of the Brethren, a historic peace tradition. Chloe is eager to apply her organic growing skills learned in Vermont and Japan here at Licking Creek this year.

Kuro (Japanese for black) came to live at the farm with Chloe less than a week after her own arrival here with us. He was adopted on May 1st, and has already won over the majority of the staff with his good looks and sweet nature.

Gabi is a poet and part-time waitress who lives in Brooklyn, NY. She likes listening to the whippoorwills from the porch of her cabin.

Kat is an enterprising lady with three stuffed birds.

Yansa is originally from Raleigh, NC. They love coffee at dawn, watching cats stretch, and doing a little dance after the first bite of a yummy meal. Yansa is excited to be a part of the LCBF team for a few weeks this spring, learning what is to be learned and having two hands in the food cultivation process. They look forward to seeing you at the market or on Farm Day, June 8th!

She rests in peace under her favorite apple tree.

We are sincerely grateful to Charmaine for her 17 years of work as our manager, and for her dedication to Licking Creek Bend Farm. Many thanks and much appreciation!
