Taylor Mendell

Since moving back to Vermont about 10
years ago, Taylor and her husband Jake, have worked Footprint Farm to provide high quality
pork and organic veggies to the surrounding communities. They have over 100 subscribers to
their coordinated CSA, as well as a presence at the Shelburne Farmers Market and in local
restaurants. Taylor stands out when it comes to community involvement and young farmer
advocacy. She is always willing to share her knowledge or offer assistance to farmers, service
providers and consumers. Taylor is on the Board of Vermont’s National Young Farmer Coalition
chapter and documents her experiences on her personal website: http://habitfarming.weebly.com/
