Founding Farmers

Patchwork Family Farm and Thornfield Farm have been growing and selling food in the Blue Ridge Valley for going on 15 years.

We both, Amy and Susanna (lead farmers at Patchwork and Thornfield Farm), share a deep passion for stewarding the land—we are most comfortable with our hands firmly in the dirt. However, as we have grown alongside each other and with the local food community in Roanoke, we can’t help but engage in the obvious need for a communal approach to increasing access to local food.

Our community is hungry for more, better access, to high quality local food and this project is designed to help meet that need.
