Steph Jones, Farm Manager
Steph first came to Pennypack Farm as a summer intern in 2015. Prior to farming, she worked at numerous horse barns, so it wasn’t a far leap to farming. After graduating Bates College with a B.A. in Studio Art, she returned in 2016 to participate in Pennypack Farm’s 20-month farmer apprenticeship program and then moved into the assistant manager position. Steph always said she wanted to have a job with three things: 1) get to be creative 2) have tangible, visible results and 3) make people happy. She found farming blended these ideas perfectly. As a sister duo team, Steph is excited to see how she and Kirstie improve and develop over many years of farming. Her favorite things to grow are rutabagas, radishes, and flowers!
