Brenda Miller - Bobolink Farm

Brenda Miller is the owner and founder of Bobolink Farm, located in Liberty, NY. Brenda has 40+ years of experience in farming including 8 years at a 350-acre orchard, then some time at a 50-acre organic vegetable farm, then working for Greenmarket in NYC, several years of horticulture training, public garden/ private estate work, and a big urban greening in Philadelphia. Brenda also owned and operated a design build, kitchen and garden business in Philly for 8 years and was a farmer monk at Dai Bosatsu Zendo, a 1/2-acre vegetable and flower farm for 5 years. After gaining all the knowledge and experience from her previous endeavors, she established Bobolink Farm in 2019.
