Meet the Amee Farmers - Russell and Elizabeth

We are in full bloom! All due to Russell and Elizabeth - our super farm team:) A guest at The Amee Farm Lodge will see these guys hard at work everyday, working their chores early morning til night, all over the farm. Today they are preparing for the upcoming Harvest Festival in nearby Rochester, Vermont.

They love teaching people (especially kids) about the values of farming and importance of sustainable agriculture.

Russel Lewczuk-Jensen

Born: Brooklyn, NY
Spent his summers living on an organic farm called Spannocchia in Tuscany, Italy. His parents are artists and they would go each summer to paint and be inspired by the natural beauty at this farm. Russell was inspired by the farm life, the gardens, the animals and the Italian style cooking. His loves carrots, beets, prosciutto, making focaccia bread... and is as the gardens blooms and animals are butchered... he has been known to host spontaneous Tuscan inspired bbq's and parties for friends and family. Yum.


Earlier this summer Russell and Elizabeth entertained young farmers-in-training: Jack (4), Charlie (2 1/2) and Kingston (3)..the boys were delighted with the chickens....

When you come to the Amee Farm be sure to introduce yourself....
