About the Farmer
Hi friends! I’m Laura, the founder of Strawberry Dog Farm.
My whole life, I’ve been enchanted by the magic of plants. Some of my favorite childhood memories involve growing things: “helping” my dad grow a giant watermelon, eating tiny spring onions straight from my grandmother’s garden, planting a sunflower in kindergarten that grew so tall we had to chop it down with an ax.
While thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail with my now-husband in 2019, I experienced the healing power of nature firsthand. I knew when we finished that I needed to find a way to include more nature in my everyday life.
Later, I found the New Entry Sustainable Farming Project, which allowed me to try my hand at farming on a quarter-acre lot in Beverly, MA, in 2023. I’m now going into my third year, growing on a half-acre. I couldn’t have done it without the help of my incredible family and friends, particularly my husband Joe. I’m so excited to see what this season has in store for us. If you’d like to follow along, check out our Instagram or sign up for our newsletter below!
