Co-Owners of Leaping Bear Farm

Our names are Justin and Vanessa and we're first generation
farmers with a passion for healing our environment. Justin has a background in permaculture design and education, and Vanessa is a graphic designer and marketer. We use our past experiences daily to grow our farm, and to help refine our customers understanding of regenerative agriculture, organic growing practices and how they can positively contribute to healing our food systems. We pride ourselves in providing high quality, fresh and healthy food from the land in a way that benefits the environment.

How our food is farmed can either add to the destruction of our planet or it can do the opposite- creating abundance and resiliency across our communities.
