born and raised in tennessee and west virginia

 I met Sarah in 2011 in Alaska where we bonded over plants and compost. I sensed immediately that she connected deeply with the plants she was growing and the living landscape we explored. It’s not hard to find people that like plants and appreciate nature, but it is rare to find someone that feels as much as Sarah about her life’s work. She is the basil, the squash, the lamb, and the soil, and she will give them her last drop of energy and love. The opportunity to buy and steward this 55 acres is what Sarah has been preparing for her entire life. GO SARAH AND TEA JAY!   

Vuck Farm has been an integral part of our child’s journey in learning how seasonal food is grown, finding joy in shared meal-making, and appreciating the sense of community around food and farming. When we became part of the CSA a few years ago, our child began forming meaningful connections—greeting the farmers who grew our food, engaging with the CSA community, and exploring the world of unfamiliar, seasonal vegetables. We have also visited the farm and participated in events, and we are delighted to hear of their expansion across Spring Creek valley! I have known Sarah for over 25 years, including her time at UC Santa Cruz learning about social justice in our food systems and building on her already sustainable agricultural practices. We’re so grateful for Vuck Farm, where our child is embraced as one of the “farm kids” and welcomed into a community that teaches sustainability, growing and cooking food, and a meaningful connection to the land.

This property presents a unique opportunity to blend conservation, preservation and sustainable working agricultural land. The wet bottoms near the creek and spring present an opportunity for wetlands conservation and wet grasslands restoration. The upland sections of the property present an invaluable opportunity for a publicly accessible working farmland, some with native species restoration and others with traditional row crop and/or grazing practices. The tract would benefit from a conservation easement and also by being purchased/stewarded by the existing stewards of the Vuck Farm. Their high standards and caring vision would result in their community benefitting greatly from the purchase and use of this land.
