Signe is a recent Tufts graduate working as an apprentice vegetable grower at Drumlin Farm in Lincoln, MA. She is passionate about food and sustainable agriculture because of their power to build community by creating relationships of dependency and trust that are hard to find in the general market economy. She is excited about blogging for Farmers to You because of the company’s great work of making these connections, while also upholding a standard of quality and dedication to good farming.

Signe has many dreams for the future, but is focused on learning to farm for now.
