Mark and Petra Zinniker, the third-generation stewards, have pioneered transforming the traditional family farm into a model of community-supported agriculture. Mark grew up on the farm and his deep passion for the earth and sustainability is visible everywhere on the farm.
Petra was born and raised in Germany and always had an interest in the environment and growing her own healthy food. She came to the Zinniker farm as an apprentice in 1991 where she met Mark and moved here in 1994 after finishing her education in Germany. Now they are teaching and will be working with the Benkowskis, who share their deep commitment to nurturing the land and community.
