about

Founder, Farm Manager

Erica started farming through an internship at Green String Farm in Petaluma, California in 2014. After learning and working at the 100 acre vegetable farm for one year, she knew she wanted to steward land and farm as a career.

In pursuit, Erica moved to the northeast where available farmland (with water) can be found near dense populations of people in cities and towns; the ideal place to start a vegetable farm.

Erica worked at Keith's Farm in Orange County, NY for three years as part of a small team growing organic vegetables on 20 acres and selling at the Union Square Greenmarket in NYC. 

It was through working at Keith's Farm that the opportunity to take over the former land of Willow Wisp Organic Farm presented itself and thus Good Find Farm came to be.

Erica opened Good Find in 2018 with the help of a few good friends from Keith’s Farm. Over the years Erica has been growing and learning how to care for and manage this land.

Now with Theron also committed to building a life on the land, a holistic vision for the farm is growing.

Though Erica grew up in the suburbs of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, she knew she wanted to be a farmer since she was ten years old.

Farm Manager

Theron’s deep-rooted interest in growing food stems from a time in his early twenties when he first became aware of his own separateness from the natural world. After finishing an undergraduate degree in Anthropology in 2013, he left his native New Orleans in search of a life where his ideals of living close to the land could be put into practice. In the summer of 2014 Theron joined an intentional community called Alpha Farm, an egalitarian commune located deep within the lush coastal mountains of Oregon’s Siuslaw rain forest.

It was at Alpha Farm where Theron first began his foray into the world of fungi, and where he was introduced to organic and no-till growing practices. Over the course of three years, he worked in Alpha’s large one-acre garden alongside a small team of communitarians whose unifying purpose was to grow food for the community’s thirty-some-odd members.

Having no prior experience working on a production vegetable farm before moving to Good Find, Theron has spent the past four years on the farm learning from—and with—Erica, fully immersing himself in the business of small-scale commercial farming. During his time living on the farm, Theron has also found a passion for permaculture practices and principles as well as regenerative no-till agriculture. And his long fascination with fungi has recently expanded into the realm of mycology, where he’s currently learning how to grow mushrooms commercially for the farm.
