Vincent Felice is a man with a passion for farming. Unlike many farmers who have grown up on farms and seem to have farming blood in them since birth, Felice’s own exposure to this lifestyle and profession didn’t come until much later in his life.

After studying identity politics at Evergreen State College and realizing that academia was not the right direction for him, Felice spent some time traveling on his own. He eventually moved to a farm for a summer to do an internship, as a way to live cheaply for a period of time.

“Though I didn’t like the place, I found I really liked the work,” explains Felice. “I liked being outdoors, doing something physical and engaging with the land. It made me feel good and motivated me to learn more about farming.”
