ABOUT US
Always up for adventure, Milk and Honey like to take long walks together....
John Goepel graduated from Frostburg University with a degree in Geosciences, minoring in Soil Sciences. He began his conservation based career working for various non-profit and government trails construction/design agencies. He began farming at a small organic farm in Western Massachusetts and his new passion quickly developed into a career. As our production manager, he hopes to expand the farm slowly, and put food into the hands of people who need it most.
Dori Goepel has had farming deep in her blood - her paternal grandparents were farmers in Hungary, growing all kinds of market vegetables, as well as a substantial amount of roses. A passionate gardener with a degree in Psychology from Frostburg University, Dori brings a strong background of ethical food production to her farming operation. She has been an integral role to M+HF and continues to shine as our creative director and farm outreach coordinator.
We started the farm just the two of us, but 8 years later, we now we have two tiny farmhands helping (?) us out - Mattock and Sylvia. The logistics are trickier with two wee ones, but watching them explore the farm is the greatest joy. Matty likes to help transplant (especially watering plants in!) and Sylvie enjoys picking up fistfuls of soil to decorate her clothes.
A note on our farm's name:
We often get asked if we sell milk, or honey. In our first few years, we didn’t sell either! Milk and Honey Farms comes from when John and Dori hiked the Appalachian Trail. Every hiker gets a trail name - John was Milkman and Dori was Honeybee. They figured since the farm is nestled right under the AT, it would be only fitting to pay the beloved trail homage. However, they have recently acquired beehives, and now offer small batches of delicious raw honey when available.
