A little bit more about Amy:
Though Max has known he would feel at home at the farm since he discovered its existence at Bulldog Days, he was slow on the uptake, and came to volunteer workdays and Knead 2 Knows only a handful of times before becoming a farm manager. Still, those times he was able to come to the farm were the highlights of his time at Yale, and he can't wait to get back to the community and the vegetables on the Old Acre. As a student of environmental justice policy and climate science, Max is at his happiest when he is outside, building community around food and nature. From live music, to sweet and savory brick oven pizzas, to soil-covered hands, the farm provides Max with exactly what he needs to face the week ahead.
