Margaret Loftus is a former public defender. She’s now a farmer.
She and her husband Jonathan left Brooklyn for Vermont in 2006 in search of a better place to raise their kids—Keelan, Tobin and Wendell—and grow their own food.
After years of learning about farming, growing organic vegetables, and raising animals for beef, pork and lamb, the family-run Crossmolina Farm—named after a town in Ireland—became a full-time enterprise in 2018.
In this episode, Margaret talks about creating a new life in Vermont, learning how to farm, and creating a tight-knit community around food.
