He loved vegetables and natural foods, and he found himself spending more and more time at the city’s farmers markets. Matt, a culinary school graduate in his early 20s, was working in restaurants in New York City. The farm supports two full-time farmers and provides seasonal jobs to more than 15 employees. His farm, Golden Earthworm Organic Farm in Jamesport, New York, has a CSA with 1,350 members, a farm stand, three farmers markets, and restaurant accounts. Thanks to a combination of hard work, great markets, and a bit of luck, he is now one of the success stories. Like many direct-market vegetable farmers, Matthew Kurek had no farming experience when he started farming.
