Your Farmers & Staff

David and Jennifer Paulk own and operate Sassafras Creek Farm. David is the full-time farmer and was inspired to start farming after his Navy career. He enjoys studying farming techniques, trying new vegetable varieties, and teaching others about small scale vegetable farming.
Jennifer is the brains behind the farm. She does planning, harvesting, greenhouse work, selling, HR and bookkeeping. In addition, she is a University of Maryland Agricultural Extension Master Gardener and works full-time off the farm for the Navy as an Environmental Protection Specialist. Jennifer especially enjoys talking with customers at the farmers market about preparing delicious meals with our fresh vegetables.
Harry, as in Dirty Harry, and Zoe, are our pet cats at Sassafras Creek Farm.
Harry, like his namesake is fearless, dislikes rules, and sees the world as black and white. Zoe, is Harry's little side kick and she can be seen following him around getting into trouble. Both are funny and love to play.

Anna, Ally and Noah are the team that help us seed, plant, weed, harvest, wash and package your vegetables. Please thank them next time you see them!
