Who we are
“We” is currently just “Me”, or, I suppose, me and my farm. I am Charlene, the owner and operator of A Fairy’s Dream Farm. My journey to become a farmer began almost two years ago and has led me from Virginia to Danville, Vermont. The farm is but a wee seed right now and I can’t wait to nourish it into a fully thriving ecosystem. If you want to watch it grow, be sure to subscribe to the blog or follow along on Facebook or Instagram.
