The Kents are Dan, Megan, Maggie, Silas and Hazel. Our farm is located a few miles east of the St. Lawrence River in the town of Waddington, NY. 2024 is our 22nd year. We’ll be managing about 25 acres and running the place with the help of four exceptionally skilled and dedicated seasonal workers from Mexico who we hire via the excruciating but essential H2A visa program.

Though we farmed for our first eight years with the help of draft horses, the humans involved with the farm are now supported by tractors and a mixture of tools and machines ranging in sophistication from wheelbarrows and hand hoes to vacuum precision seeders and a mechanical root crop harvester. We test the quality of our water quarterly, submit to inspections by various departments of labor and health and are certified organic by NOFA-NY, LLC. 

Dan, originally from Henderson, NY, moved here in 2003 following some years as a cargo-bicycle courier in California, a sternman on a lobster boat and a farm apprentice in Maine. Megan, originally from Bemus Point, NY, had apprenticed at several farms in Maine and Vermont, managed an organic growers cooperative, and worked as a baker before joining forces with Dan, first in Heuvelton and now here at our Lisbon address. Besides operating KFG’s cut-flower CSA, Megan teaches biology labs at St. Lawrence University.
