Come hear Farmer, Melissa Maxwell of Barrett’s Mill Farm talk about all things farming and gardening. Melissa Maxwell has been growing organic vegetables commercially since 2004. After college, she started her first farm job at the Community Farm of Ann Arbor and decided that farming was the career for her. She moved back to the East coast and spent 8 years honing her farming and management skills at Appleton Farms in Ipswich, MA, a 24-acre vegetable farm. As a co-owner of Barrett’s Mill Farm, she is now living her dream of owning a small farm business in a community that is enthusiastic about local agriculture. When Melissa is not in the fields she is swimming in the ocean or on a winter travel adventure.
