Jonathan & Allison -- the people and farmers behind UProoted Farm

In this day and age, when the food system has expanded to the current, massive scale, the idea of "knowing your farmer" is a novelty.

But, it's a novelty of small community that we value. So, if you want to get to know a little bit more about us -- Jon and Allison the people and the farmers -- we're happy to share.

Jon & Allison...the couple:

For our first date, Allison drove five-hours through a blizzard, having only committed to grab one beer. That one beer turned into two, and the start of a very happy life together.

Our idea of "vacation" is a trip where you end up in the woods, dirty, scratched up, exhausted, and sore ...but you're still smiling!

We're still figuring out the division of labor as we start the farm -- but Jon is primarily "the grower and fixer" and Allison is primarily "the helper and marketer."

We have two Chessies: Hazel & Bosun.

Jonathan...the grower and fixer:

Jon has wanted to farm since he was a little kid, growing up with abundant gardens. Being a full-time farmer is a dream come true.

When given a choice, he'll choose the adventure 9 out of 10 times. Scratch that, 10 out of 10!

Jon travelled the world serving in the United States Coast Guard for 17 years. As a boatswain, he specialized in search & rescue and law enforcement.

Jon's hobbies include: fish tanks, Bonsai, board games, Arduino electronics, duck hunting, carpentry, beekeeping...and the list goes on.

Allison...the helper and marketer:

Allison works remotely as a copywriter for Aster Brands. Thus, her "farm work" occurs mainly in the evenings and on weekends.

If money grew on trees, she'd travel more often. International travels thus far have taken her to: Canada, Mexico, Honduras, New Zealand, Fiji and Vietnam.

Fears = snakes. Exposure therapy -- whether a garden snake in the flower bed or a rattle snake on a NOLS expedition -- hasn't worked thus far.

When life gets stressful, Allison tends to bake. Any bets on how many loafs of banana bread she'll make in 2019?
