You may have seen Will Pearl at your first pick-up of the season. He was directing parking and was wearing yellow boots!

Will tells us:

I’m so excited to join the staff at Intervale Community Farm this summer! I’m no stranger to the lovely Intervale community—you may have seen me biking around down at the farm or driving all around Burlington in the Pitchfork Farm delivery truck for the last few years. I love this incredibly abundant and interconnected land and community and am looking forward to deepening my connection. I grew up in Brandon, Vermont where gardening with my family was a seasonal ritual. I got my start in organic farming at Woods Market Garden at a young age in the farm stand and out in the strawberry and corn fields. One of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had was leading crews of high school students at the Farm at Vermont Youth Conservation Corps to grow the Health Care Share CSA for food insecure Vermonters. I’ve been told I make a mean butternut squash soup, but nothing beats biting into the first slice of a sun-warmed kohlrabi out in the field on a gorgeous day. If you catch me with free time I’ll be drumming and singing, feeding chickens, collecting flowers and with any luck, cooking up some homegrown shiitakes. 

Look for Will as you wander around the farm!
