Rustic Roots Farm is owned and operated by Erica Emery.  After graduating from the University of Maine - Farmington, Erica worked on a farm outside of Boston before deciding to establish her own farm in her hometown of Farmington in 2013.  Erica produces more than 80 varieties of mixed vegetables for CSA, as well as their farm stand, the Farmington farmers' market, and several local retailers and restaurants.  She and her partner Dave aim to provide their customers with delicious, nourishing, and sustainably-grown produce.
