As a first generation farmer and photographer whose work focuses on the next generation of food producers and cultivators, my farming journeys have taken me across Canada.

I am currently based at Wheelbarrow Farm in Sunderland, Ontario, and help out at Shoresh—a Toronto based Jewish Environmental Organization—whenever I can.
