Though Victoria & Boe grew up 30 minutes down the road from each other in Massachusetts and both went to college in Florida. It wasn't until they lived in Hawaii that they met. When they found out their family was growing back in 2018, Hawaii felt too far away from family. With Massachusetts simply being too cold, they venutured to the upstate next! They went all in buying their 20+ acres sight unseen and hopped back to the mainland!
If you think education happens within four walls, think again! When it comes to educating our kiddos, we take it outside to allow nature to teach them while we as adults guide that learning. Being outdooors rain-or-shine increases resilience, cognitive function, motor coordination, connectedness to nature, well-being, critical thinking, better sleep and so much more!
Victoria started Earthganic Farm along with Boe in 2019 after developing a passion for organic farming while traveling through the Middle East, Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, and South America often times working on organic farms! She studied Environmental Science and Education at Palm Beach Atlantic University where she compiled a lot of what she learned working on farms abroad into her senior thesis about organic farming. Victoria started her professional career as a high school Biology, Chemistry, and Global Issues teacher in the Dominican Republic. She then went on to teach Sciences, Gardening, and Health & Wellness at a school in Hawaii. Being a Resident Supervisor at that school ignited Victoria’s enthusiasm to get kids outdoors. She brought her residents hiking, kayaking, foraging, and boogie boarding whenever she had a chance. Currently she is working at Valley Forest School and works with children as young as 6 weeks to 8 years. Bringing outdoor educational experiences to their homesterad has been a dream since the farm started.
Make sure to ask Victoria about her travels and low-waste living! In the past decade, she’s been to 30 different countries and has worked on farms in six of them. Over the course of three years, she fit all her plastic & landfill waste in a 160z jar each year. Her more recent feet was keeping 99% of their youngest, Banks, homegrown for his first year during which he had 66 foods from the land they steward. She loves sharing her appreciation for traveling and environmental justice!
Crystal studied Clinical Laboratory Science at the Medical College of Georgia. She worked as a teachers aide and sub at a community college while earning her degree. After graduating, she worked in clinical and hospital settings for several years. She started her family and decided to stay home. Using her degree and science background, she started hosting preschool/elementary classes in her home with a focus on STEM. From there, she has taught science classes online on platforms like outschool. Crystal travels often with her 3 children. Having driven a month long cross country roadtrip alone with her kids, she enjoyed camping their way west and back. She loves the 1000 hours outdoors challenge and even completed it this year (2023)! After meeting Victoria, Crystals desire to be a better steward of the earth drastically increased and she became a student again learning all she can. From slowly switching to environmental friendly products, using less plastic, and learning how to have an urban garden, she is determined to cut her families waste in half.
Crystal has a passion for science, the earth, and being in community with each other. Her love for teaching can be seen as she conducts an experiment or takes a walk pointing out the plants. Her love of learning will keep her a student forever and provide her with more to teach.
