Dishing Up the Dirt

Where It All Began

In 2008, Andrea and her husband (then boyfriend) Taylor moved from Oregon to Massachusetts to work on his family’s 60-acre organic vegetable farm. They’d been working minimum wage jobs back in Oregon and were living just to have fun. However, after a few years of carefree adventure they were yearning to do something more meaningful. They packed their bags and turned the steering wheel East to Hutchins Farm. For the past 8 years Andrea has been documenting their life as farmers and home cooks. After back-breaking days spent hunched over the dirt they’d go home and cook a meal using all of the wonderful produce they had tirelessly grown. Life was simple. They were happy. However, after 3 years on a large-scale operation they decided they wanted to take a risk and branch out on their own. They once again packed up all their belongings, dog (Henry) and all of their kitchen gadgets and moved back to Oregon to start something for themselves.
