We spent the afternoon with Thomas McCurdy in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom at Ardelia Farm & Co. Ardelia is a sustainable cut flower farm and bakery that sells at the Burlington Farmer’s Market as well as wholesale accounts and distributors. We spoke with Thomas about he and his business partner/husband’s journey or trial and error to find the type of farming that was right for them, and the importance of building equity and being part of their local Vermont community.
