About US

Elizabeth O. Weller:

While studying religion and philosophy at Sarah Lawrence College, Elizabeth pursued her love of farming during summer breaks, working  two summers at an orchard in West Virginia, and a third on a small farm just outside of Lexington, VA. After graduating from college, Elizabeth worked as the Harvest Barn work leader at Gould Farm, a small therapeutic farm community in Western MA. After spending several years in the field of social work, Elizabeth pursued her Masters in Theological Studies at Harvard Divinity School. During her time there, she volunteered with local small farms such as the Food Project, Serving Ourselves Farm and the Blue Heron. Upon graduation, she and her husband moved to a small town just outside of Gettysburg, Pa where they’ve established a small CSA. Their long term plan is to use the space as an agriculturally based healing center. You can read more about Elizabeth’s day to day work in her field notes.
