Rebecca

Rebecca was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. Inspired to make connections between what we eat and where it comes from, she started farming in 2004.  Her path to the Student Organic Farm wound its way from a Sicilian farm at the base of a volcano, to a Jewish organic farm in the Connecticut Berkshires, to The Edible Schoolyard in Berkeley, California, and finally to Lansing. She graduated from the OFCP in 2009 and stayed on as the CSA manager and an Assistant Instructor in 2010.  In 2011, she was the OFTP Program Manager.  Rebecca is humbled by how much more there will always be to learn from the land, and is excited to be on this lifelong journey of teaching and learning through small-scale organic farming.  She loves to grow, harvest, cook, and eat delicious produce with intention and with community.
