Meet your farmers
Our Story
Soon after meeting in Chicago in 2015, we knew we wanted a change from our fast-paced city lives. We traded our theatre and business careers for a farm internship program at Full Sun Farm in NC and never looked back. We moved to Tyler's hometown in New Hampshire in 2017 and started Partners' Gardens, named as an homage to Tyler's mother who tended to this land for almost 30 years as a homesteader.

Jenna - Business Manager and Organizer
Jenna is the Business Manager of PG. She builds the sowing schedule each year, keeps us on track, orders seeds, maps out our fields, manages social media pages, and farms Monday - Saturday.
In her "spare time," she creates market garden content for Bootstrap Farmer and serves at a local restaurant.
Tyler - Field Manager and Builder of all Things
Tyler manages our cover crops, soil amendments, and all things soil health in our fields. He is a skilled carpenter who builds all of the things that help us with tool storage, organization, and overall sustainability. From 8 am - 4 pm, you can find him building houses out here in or around Nelson.
As seen in the photo, he's our resident tomato grafter as well.
Rocko - Produce Tester
Rocko came to us from Alabama in January 2021. He has acclimated well to farm life, learning "path" and "out" commands pretty quickly. He loves hanging out on harvest days and taking a trip to town for produce drops. He just wants to be involved in whatever we're doing! Rocko is the best boy.
Our Special Land
Tyler's parents bought this land when it was all wooded area with the vision of what it is today; a gorgeous spot at the top of a hill with beautiful mountainous views. Tyler has childhood memories of picking Japanese beetles and potato beetles off plants for a penny each (until the pressure got high, then the price was raised to $.05 each bug). He proposed here at the top of that hill and married here in 2018. We are very connected to the history and the many stories and hope to farm here for many years to come.
