Together, MaryKate Chillemi and Chris Hausman have been farming for over 15 years. This will be their fifth season running their own operation. They have farmed collectively around the globe in: Colorado, California, New York, Italy, Peru, Panama, and Greece. A native of Tarrytown, MaryKate is thrilled to return home to the TaSH market every week and sell her beautiful and delicious produce. Chris is originally from Colorado, but has been farming with MaryKate in the Hudson Valley for the past seven years. Together they make up the heart and soul of Thousand Leaf Gardens (as they have no employees!) and with the help of their Hungarian vizsla Penelope, they work mainly by hand, striving to always achieve the most sustainable and balanced growing practices. They choose their products based on flavor and often have some interesting and rare heirlooms.
