We are a small collection of people who believe wholeheartedly in a grass roots agricultural movement committed to changing the current food system, one micro farm at time.
It takes a village.
WHO WE ARE:
Owner/ Field Manager
Emily Garrity:
As the founder and visionary of Twitter Creek Gardens, and a life long Alaskan, I'm motivated by the desire to provide an alternative to the destructive standard in commercial agriculture. My passion lies in being a steward of the land, animals, quality and nutritious food, and this amazing State. I am committed to working in cooperation with nature to supply a clean, fresh food source for our community.
Assistant Field Manager
Allison O'Neill:
While living in the Virgin Islands, a deep-rooted curiosity and passion grew within me for farming and the local food movement. It was there that I began my farming career working on a local market garden. After a long journey North, we transplanted to Homer, and rooted in on Ohlson Mountain. Now entering my tenth season working with Emily and the Twitter Creek Gardens project, I am ever grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow each year as a farmer and co-worker. It is the commitment to the community, the immense importance of healthy live food, and the farm family that keeps me coming back year after year; knowing that we are truly making a difference one seed at a time.
Maintenance
Colin McGovern:
Colin's list of tasks are endless. From gate building, to small engine mechanics, Colin keeps the systems running smoothly. His level headed approach and insatiable desire to conquer any task are invaluable to our operation. When not on the farm, Colin can be found pounding nails making dreams come true for other project doers!
This farm has come to fruition by the backs and hands of countless individuals.
From tech support to logo design, Farm to table Chefs to tractor operators, our crew is expansive.
It really does take a village.
