So many people have been involved in Big Train Farm over the years. It is actually impossible for me to remember everyone who has volunteered on my own! Many people have been employed and dozens of people have been involved as a work-share
Some of course do need mentioning! John Kenny has been the owner and manager since 2009 (pictured below at Urban Edge Farm).
Mindy Walls is the resident beekeeper and assistant strategist of BTF and has been on the farm in one capacity or another since 2009, a BTF heavy-weight.
